At least 9 people are reported to have been reported killed at Jidanturu, a farming community in the East Gonja district of the Northern region of Ghana after a wild buffalo stormed the community.
The chief of the area, Kawuseiwura Soale Issah who confirmed the incident to ultimatfmonline.com, said he got the information of the attack from Fulani herdsmen early on Friday about the wild animal killing 7 of their cows and 9 residents.
“I sent my people to go and verify the information and they confirmed to me that is true after helping to bury the deceased persons in accordance with the Islamic custom”, he revealed.
According to him, residents are scared of going to their farms for fear of being attacked by the animal which he described as invisible hampering economic activities in the area
“I consulted a soothsayer and he told me the buffalo is invisible and will kill a woman to make it 10 before it stops “he added.
The Kpembewura Banbagn3 Ndefeso IV who is the paramount chief of the area in an interview confirmed the report by the Kawuseiwura but appealed to the general public especially hunters who can kill the buffalo to come to their aid.
Meanwhile the Salaga District Police commander DSP Amenu said the police has not received any formal complaint from the Kawuseiwura about the attack and has called on the general public to be careful in dealing with such information since it has the potential of sparking tension in the area.
He also called on the general public to always report issues of security to the police for onward investigation.
