A five-month-old baby girl has tragically lost her life in Bawku, located in the Upper East Region, amidst the ongoing conflict that has plagued the area. According to reports from Citi News, the infant was violently torn from her mother’s arms during an attack, and was subsequently thrown to the ground, leading to her untimely death.
The mother, who had been returning home from work on Thursday, was reportedly followed by the assailants and subjected to a brutal assault. Details surrounding the motive of the attack remain unclear, but the incident is the latest in a series of violent events that have escalated since the conflict re-erupted in October 2024.
The region continues to see an alarming rise in casualties, with the death toll now standing at 55, following the brutal murder of a mother and her two children just last week. Despite the ongoing efforts by security forces to curb the violence and restore order, gunmen persist in launching attacks on innocent residents.
