The deceased include a Mamprusi man and a Togolese national.
Reports suggest that the Togolese individual had been in Bawku to care for his ill father, who had recently passed away.
They were transporting his father's body to Togo for burial when the attack occurred.
This tragic incident forms part of a broader pattern of unrest driven by enduring ethnic tensions and chieftaincy disputes in Bawku, which continue to destabilise the region.
