According to the Upper East Regional Police Command, one of the suspects, Isaka Sabani, also known as “Culture,” aged 32, sustained gunshot wounds during the operation and later died. Security personnel recovered an AK-47 assault rifle loaded with 28 rounds of ammunition from him
Preliminary investigations revealed that Sabani was wanted in connection with an attempted murder case and the unlawful discharge of firearms reported at the Bawku Police Station on August 28, 2026
