Soldiers allegedly shoot nursing mother dead in Bawku

The deceased was allegedly shot on Wednesday morning inside her house at Sabongari.

The husband of the deceased, Yakubu Dauda, in an interview with Adom News said he heard gunshots and rushed to find out what had happened.

The soldiers, according to the distraught husband, justified their action with the explanation that they thought the wife was armed.

“I heard the gunshot at my doorstep immediately after my wife opened the door and shouted to find out what happened but I was warned by the soldiers in uniform not to attempt to come out or I will be shot dead too

“But when I asked them why they opened gunfire inside my house, they said they thought my wife was holding a gun and so they shot her dead,” the heartbroken husband narrated.

The husband added the soldiers picked up the bullet shells and fled the scene after allegedly committing the heinous crime

My wife was fixed on the floor in a pool of blood when I came out after the soldiers had left the house.
