Two Level 400 students of Gambaga College of Education shot, one dead amidst Bawku conflict.
Two final-year students of Gambaga College of Education on teaching practice were shot and killed by unknown gunmen in the North East Region.
The incident occurred around 11:30 pm on Wednesday, March 12, 2025.
One of the victims, identified only as Salifu, died instantly, while the other sustained critical gunshot wounds.
According to citinews reports, the two had just returned from a DSTV viewing center, where they watched the UEFA Champions League match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. While standing outside their residence discussing the game, gunmen on a motorbike approached, identified them, and opened fire at close range.
However, police later arrived at the scene and transported the deceased’s body to the morgue. The injured student remains in critical condition.
Meanwhile, in a related incident, unknown gunmen attempted an attack on another Kusasi student in Gambaga two weeks ago, though it was unsuccessful.
The killing is said to be in connection with the ongoing Bawku conflict.
