Man allegedly shot dead and burnt along with motorbike in Binduri

A man was allegedly killed in Binduri, Upper East Region. His body was burned along with a motorcycle he was riding.

The identity of the attacker(s) is currently unknown. However, this killing likely relates to the ongoing chieftaincy conflict in Bawku.

This long-standing conflict has recently affected nearby areas like Pusiga and Binduri.

Details about the young man's death are unclear. Locals suspect he may have been ambushed.

A photograph shows his lifeless body with a suspected assailant nearby. The shadow of this person suggests he may have carried a rifle.

The victim is believed to have been shot. His body was dragged into dry grass and set on fire with his motorcycle.

The police have not yet commented on this incident. This comes just 24 hours after the Inspector General of Police visited the region. His visit followed disturbances between police and Kusasi youth in Bawku, which left one person dead last Wednesday.
