Two people have been killed, and several others injured in renewed violence in Bawku following a chieftaincy-related gun battle.
The longstanding chieftaincy conflict, which had recently appeared to calm, escalated after the return of a rival chief to the area.
Alhaji Seidu Abagre, who had been in exile since his installation in February 2023 in Nalerigu, returned to Bawku after a Kumasi High Court quashed his arrest warrant on October 17, 2024.
Tensions flared upon his return, reigniting the dispute and resulting in gunfire exchanges on the night of Saturday, October 26.
The incident claimed two lives and left numerous others injured.
