More than 20 homes have been reduced to ashes at Gumyoko in the Upper East Region, following a fresh wave of violence believed to be linked to the protracted chieftaincy conflict in Bawku on Saturday, May 10, 2025.
Security sources told myjoyonline.com that the latest incident follows similar attacks three days earlier.
Though the community had largely been deserted by residents nearly a month ago due to repeated assaults, unknown assailants reportedly returned to torch the abandoned houses and properties.
No arrests have been made, and the situation remains tense.
