A man was killed in Bunkpurugu, located in the North East Region, when he was shot by masked gunmen on motorbikes. This incident took place on a Monday evening, despite a significant security presence in the area. The victim, Jaremian, a middle-aged man, was reportedly targeted near his home. The latest violence follows heightened tensions in the region following a disputed enskinment ceremony on September 14, 2026, which involved the Jamong and Jafouk royal families.
This dispute led to clashes and heightened security concerns. The Overlord of the Mamprugu Traditional Area, Naa Bohagu Abdulai Mahami Sheriga, has filed a legal action seeking to commit four individuals for contempt of court over the enskinment. The dispute has resulted in violence, loss of lives, destruction of property, and displacement of residents.
