A man identified as Mark Agingre, who is wanted by the police for a string of murders in Binduri, has spoken from his hideout, denying any involvement in the crimes and insisting he has been framed.
According to him, he is still in Binduri, where he has been seeking refuge, and has not fled the area. He claimed that he was being falsely accused of the murders and that he had nothing to do with the incidents.
Mark Agingre explained that he was in hiding because he feared for his life, saying he could be killed by those framing him since there was currently no police presence in his community.
In a video interview posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, the suspect said he was trapped in Binduri and could not even move a few metres outside his community.
Agingre described the accusations as false.
“Nobody can move out of Binduri even for five minutes without being shot,” he said. “The things they are tagging against me are untrue.”
The Ghana Police Service declared him wanted on November 8, 2025, for allegedly murdering a man, his wife, and three children on November 7, 2025 — an attack that left another child in critical condition at the Bolgatanga Government Hospital.
He is also suspected of killing an elderly man and his two children on October 27, 2025, in Binduri, as well as being connected to other targeted killings in the area.
In the video interview, Agingre claimed he was being framed as part of the ongoing Bawku ethnic conflict and alleged that police had abandoned the district, allowing armed groups to operate freely.
“There were some police barrier checkpoints in Binduri, but they have been sacked by these same bandits,” he said, referring to what he described as “Kusasi” attackers.
He also dismissed reports linking him to an armed robbery in Garu, arguing that the journey from Binduri to Garu would require passing through several rival communities.
“How can we ride motorbikes from Binduri through four Kusasi communities before getting to Garu and come back? How is this possible?” he asked.
Agingre said anonymous Facebook accounts had posted his picture, linking him to the Garu incident as part of a plan to lure him out of Binduri so that his community could be attacked. He claimed his accusers were trying to portray him as a dangerous person.
He traced his troubles back to 2023, when his uncle, Tahiru Guma, was shot and killed at home around 3 p.m. Two weeks after the funeral, he said, he survived an attempt on his life when someone he stopped to speak to pulled an AK-47 and opened fire.
“It was only God who saved me, and I was not harmed,” he said.
According to him, community elders later advised young men to leave the area to prevent further violence, but attacks continued.
He alleged that more than 50 houses were burned down in the Gumyoko community, leaving it deserted, and that a 90-year-old man was among those killed.
Agingre also refuted claims by a military officer that he had been arrested three times and escaped custody.
“If someone escapes from the cells, they are posted as wanted, and the police will look for the person. How come all these three escapes were never posted by the police, and I am in Ghana here?” he asked.
He added that although he had been arrested in the past, he was released through legal means with the help of a lawyer at the Bolgatanga High Court.
