The Ghana Police Service has initiated an investigation into the mysterious deaths of two individuals in the Wa Municipality.
The incidents, which occurred on Tuesday, have sent shockwaves through the community, prompting authorities to assure residents of their safety.
The first incident was reported at the Wa East Education Service office, while the second occurred at the Wa Model JHS School. Both events have raised serious concerns among the local populace.
In a statement, the Police Service urged the public, particularly the residents of Wa, to remain calm as they work diligently to apprehend those responsible.
“We would like to assure the public, especially the residents of Wa, to remain calm as the Police work to get those involved arrested to face justice,” the statement read.
Upper West Regional Minister Stephen Yakubu provided additional details after visiting one of the crime scenes. He revealed that one of the victims was rendered unconscious by a blow from a stone before the assailants slit his throat.

The minister emphasized the importance of maintaining calm and trust in the security services as they thoroughly investigate the matter.
“The Regional Security Council will go back and strategize, but we want to assure the Wa people that the security services will be patrolling and doing what they need to do to make sure everyone is safe,” he added.
Residents of Wa have been urged to cooperate with law enforcement officials and provide any information that could assist in the investigation.
