According to reports, the tragic incident happened at Temgmasug, a farming community in the Koloku–Gumyoko Electoral Area in the Binduri District of the Upper East Region.
The Assembly Member for the area, who confirmed the news, revealed the incident happened on Friday night, November 7, 2025, between 7 and 8 p.m.
Anaba Joseph, the Assembly Member, narrated, “I had a call around 7 to 8 p.m. yesterday that five people had been shot dead and another injured at Temgmasug under the Koloku–Gumyoko Electoral Area. Because of the ban on motorbikes, I couldn’t go there at night, so this morning I went there myself and saw it with my own eyes”.
“They were in the compound of their house when the attackers struck. When they heard the gunshots, they tried to run inside their room, but before they could enter, they were shot right at the doorstep,” he narrated.
He added, “They shot all four, the man, his wife, and their two children, right in front of their doorstep. The old man could not run, so he was still lying on the compound, and they shot him too. Only one person managed to escape with gunshot wounds and is currently in the hospital”.
“The house is just near a waterlogged area. After the killings, they picked up a motorbike belonging to the victims. They seemed to have difficulties starting it, so they pushed it away while others continued shooting,” he added.
“All five have been buried, and I was there myself. We are really traumatised by the turn of events in our community. It is very sad,” Mr. Anaba bemoaned.
