Mark Agingre, the man declared wanted by police for allegedly killing eight people in the Binduri District of the Upper East Region, with a GH¢1million bounty on his head, has spoken from his hiding place.
According to him, he was still in Binduri where he was seeking refuge and has not run out of the place.
He claimed that he has been framed in all the allegations and that he has not killed anyone.
According to him, he was in hiding because, he was scared that when he steps out of his hiding place, he could be killed by those who are framing him up.
In a video interview posted on X on Wednesday [November 12, 2025], the suspect claimed he was trapped in Binduri and could not even move a few metres outside of 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, in 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, at Binduri, and possibly other targeted killings in the area.
Mr Agingre claimed he was being framed as part of the Bawku ethnic conflict and alleged that police had abandoned the district to armed groups.
“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, saying the journey from Binduri to Garu would require passing through four Kusasi 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.
“Their aim is for me to get out of Binduri so they can raid the community,” he claimed, adding that his accusers wanted to create the impression that he was dangerous person.

He traced his troubles 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 talk to pulled out an AK-47 and started shooting. “It was only God who saved me, and I was not harmed,” he said.
Mr Agingre said community elders later advised young men to leave to prevent further violence, but attacks persisted.
He claimed more than 50 houses were burnt in the Gumyoko community, leaving it empty, and that a 90-year-old man was among those killed.
He also rejected claims by a military officer that he had been arrested three times and vanished.
“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 said he had been arrested in the past but was released through legal means with the help of a lawyer at the Bolgatanga High Court.
