Agbambilla Ziyerley Maxwell, the lawyer representing the Bawku Naaba, has reported that at least 15 people have recently lost their lives in the ongoing Bawku conflict.

On Sunday, October 27, 2024, a violent attack occurred when assailants set up roadblocks in both Gbimsi and Walewale Town, stopping vehicles to identify potential targets.

This incident resulted in at least eight fatalities.

In an interview, Agbambilla stated, “As far as I know, we have currently lost a minimum of 15 people in Bawku, and some individuals are being slaughtered in Walewale.”

He also criticized the Attorney-General for failing to promptly issue a new arrest warrant for Alhaji Seidu Abagre, who had been living in exile since being installed as a rival chief in February 2023.

Abagre returned to Bawku after a Kumasi High Court quashed his arrest warrant on October 17, 2024.
