A community in Banda-Nkwanta, situated along the Bole-Bamboi highway in the Bole district of the Savannah Region, was plunged into mourning following a horrific incident involving a mentally unstable man who claimed the lives of four individuals.
The tragedy unfolded when the man, identified as Daganaa, visited a galamsey site to unload items and requested to use the restroom at a local compound house on Monday. Upon being denied access, he reportedly reacted violently, stabbing one of the residents before fleeing to another compound.
In the second compound, Daganaa forced his way into a room where two children, aged 10 and 12, were asleep, and allegedly attacked them. He also assaulted their frail grandmother, who had limited mobility.
Continuing his violent spree, Daganaa moved to another household where he stabbed an individual resting in the compound’s foyer. When confronted by residents, he barricaded himself in a room, threatening anyone who approached.
The escalating situation prompted residents to call the Bole police command for assistance. Upon their arrival, Daganaa attacked two police officers, leading them to respond with gunfire, resulting in his death.
Tragically, four individuals lost their lives in the incident. The injured grandmother is currently receiving treatment at Carpenter Hospital in Bole.
The deceased have been laid to rest in accordance with Islamic customs, as the community grapples with the aftermath of the devastating events.
