According to a Citi News source, the Police have arrested four students in connection with the incident.
However, one suspect reportedly escaped while being transported to the station, allegedly seizing a police officer's magazine during the escape.
In response to potential reprisal attacks, security personnel, including the military and police, have escorted students from Bawku back to their hometown under tight protection.
Authorities say efforts are underway to restore calm as investigations into the matter continue.
