A Metro Mass Transit bus traveling from Bunkpurugu to Tamale was attacked by armed robbers in the early hours of Friday, 10th October 2025, resulting in the death of one person and gunshot injuries to three others.

The tragic incident occurred around 2:27 a.m. on the Duuklotukโ€“Nakpanduri highway, when armed men reportedly attempted to stop the moving bus using torchlights.

According to eyewitness accounts, the driver, suspecting foul play, refused to stop, prompting the attackers to open fire on the vehicle.

An eyewitness who spoke to the press said, โ€œThe armed robbers didnโ€™t block the road with any object. They stopped the bus with torchlights, and when the driver refused to stop, they started shooting at the back of the bus. The place where it happened was not a community-based location.โ€

The deceased and the injured were rushed to the Faith Community Hospital in Nakpanduri for medical attention.

Some surviving passengers expressed deep concern about the recurring early-morning departures of buses from Bunkpurugu to Tamale, which they say expose travelers to heightened risks of robbery and ambush.
