At least seven people are reported dead in the Bawku ethnic clashes which broke out Saturday (24 December), local sources have told Asaaseradio.com.
Two others said to be in critical condition are on admission at the Bawku Presbyterian Hospital receiving treatment, medical officials said.
Saturday dawn’s attack, which has left several residents displaced, took place near Winamzua and Zoogo both in the Bawku municipality.
The number of deaths since the attacks resurfaced last week has been pegged at 22, security sources said.
Security has been beefed up in the municipality as the military intensify patrols to restore law and order.
The police are yet to officially comment on the latest development in Bawku.
