A suspected armed robbery attack on a Metro Mass Transit bus travelling from Bunkpurugu to Tamale has left one person dead and three others injured on the Duuklotuk–Nakpanduri stretch of the Bunkpurugu–Nalerigu highway.
According to JoyNews' correspondent, Eliasu Tanko, the incident occurred around 2:27 a.m. on Thursday when the armed men attempted to stop the bus using torchlights.
The driver, sensing danger, refused to halt, prompting the attackers to open fire on the vehicle.
Passengers on board said the gunshots caused panic, with some sustaining injuries as they tried to take cover. The victims were later rushed to the Faith Community Hospital in Nakpanduri for treatment.
Survivors expressed concerns over the safety of early-morning bus services on the route, and appealed to security agencies to increase patrols to prevent further attacks.
