Two final-year students of Gambaga College of Education on teaching practice were shot on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, at around 11:30 p.m. One of the victims, identified only as Salifu, died instantly, while the other sustained critical gunshot wounds.
Reports indicate that the two students had just returned from a DSTV viewing center after watching the UEFA Champions League match between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. While standing outside their residence discussing the game, gunmen on a motorbike approached, identified them, and opened fire at close range.
Police arrived at the scene shortly after the incident, transporting the deceased’s body to the morgue while the injured student remains in critical condition.
This shooting follows an attempted attack on another Kusasi student in Gambaga two weeks ago, which was unsuccessful. The attacks are believed to be linked to the long-standing chieftaincy conflict in Bawku.
In response to the tragic event and rising tensions, authorities have announced the closure of Gambaga College of Education until further notice.
