One person has been shot dead in what is described as a reprisal attack following the shooting of two Level 400 students of the Gambaga College of Education in Gambaga on Wednesday, March 12, 2025.

The deceased, a resident of Sagabo, was killed while herding his cattle around the Sagabo-Zoogin enclave of the Bawku township.

On Wednesday, two students of the Gambaga College of Education were shot in the Gambaga township in an incident believed to be linked to the ongoing Bawku conflict.

The conflict in Bawku erupted in November 2021 following attempts to install a parallel chief in the area.

Since its resurgence in October 2024, about 73 people, including women and children, have been killed.
