Heavy gunfire erupted at the Missiga Immigration Service checkpoint in Bawku following a confrontation between personnel from the Ghana Police Service and Customs officials on Wednesday, October 9, 2024.
According to a post by TV3 on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, reliable sources say the clash began when police officers refused to let Customs inspect the contents of a truck en route to neighboring Togo.
Customs suspected the truck was carrying smuggled cocoa beans and insisted on investigating, leading to a heated standoff.
The situation escalated into an exchange of gunfire between the two state security agencies, which was only brought under control when soldiers intervened.
