The conflict in Bawku, in the Upper East Region, appears to have moved beyond a tribal dispute between the Mamprusi and Kusasi natives, according to security analyst Dr Adam Bonaa.
He argues that the recent deaths have led him to believe that terrorists may be responsible.
Dr Bonaa is requesting that everyone involved looking into this as a result.
"So, you can see, the conflict has moved from the two feuding parties [of] Mamprusis and Kuasasis and other people are getting killed," he said on Midday Live on TV3 on Wednesday, December 28.
He observed: "I have probably suggested that, are we seeing some terrorists moving into the Bawku area because Bawku borders the Sakasi area to Burkina Faso and the rest, so we need to know what is going on.
"The kind of killings we are seeing in Bawku doesn’t make sense."
Security installations have reportedly been attacked in the conflict, according to the Chief Executive Officer of Security Warehouse, and people from other tribes have also lost their lives.
"Kusasis are no longer getting shot at. Mamprusis are no longer getting shot as you know but rather you Busangas, Frafras, Bimobas, you have other people who are getting shot.
"And state assets like power lines, fire tenders and the rest are being destroyed."
However, the Bawku Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) reports that tranquillity has returned to the neighbourhood as a result of an increase in security personnel.
Amadu Hamza claimed that in his capacity as MUSEC Chairman, he has grown to be the one who is most concerned about the war.
He said that every effort was being made to guarantee that the region experienced peace once more.
