The Bimbilla township in the Northern region was deserted Friday after a previous day sporadic shootings claimed at least 10 lives.

At least 17 individuals have been rounded up by the police and military forces in Bimbilla.

The Bimbila hospital medical superintendent, Dr. Osman Abdallah said the injured included three little children, two male and three female adults.
