Four people lost their lives, and six others sustained gunshot wounds in attacks on the Nanik and Nganme Gberuk communities in the Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo district of the North East Region on Friday, February 28.

The attacks, linked to a chieftaincy dispute, occurred on Friday morning, during which the assailants raided the communities and completely burned down several houses.

One of the victims, a Mamprusi man and a teacher in the Nanik community, was asleep in his room when it was set on fire.

Trapped inside, he was unable to escape and was burned beyond recognition.
