Two people have been shot dead in Atuba, a suburb of the Binduri District in the Upper East Region, in what is allegedly connected to the ongoing unrest in Bawku.

Unidentified gunmen on motorbikes opened fire on traders at a busy marketplace, killing the victims instantly on Monday, March 17, 2025.

The deceased have been identified as Mohammed, a local cleric and veterinary officer, according to a report by citinewsroom.com.

It is unclear what sparked the attack, but it is thought to have something to do with the long-running Bawku feud.
