This mass exodus followed a suspected terrorist attack in the neighbouring country near Nagudi.
About 10 armed men on motorbikes carried out an attack on the Togolese communities.
According to Joy News, approximately eight individuals were suspected to have lost their lives during the attack.
After the incident, residents of Jangbande, Tambeng and Tantara 2 chose to leave their villages and seek refuge in Bunkpurugu, Wenchike, and Yunyoo, respectively, in Ghana.
More than 80 individuals arrived at Wenchike in Chereponi, seeking refuge. The Paramount Chief, Naa Abubakari Awuffor, confirmed that the Chereponi District Assembly authorities have been informed about the situation.
Additionally, sources from Joy News reported that security has been bolstered along the border.
This incident echoes a similar humanitarian crisis in the Upper East Region in 2023 when thousands of Burkinabe refugees fled to towns and villages in Ghana to escape terrorist attacks in Burkina Faso.
The influx of over 4,000 refugees strained food and social amenities in the already deprived villages where they settled.
Ghanaian statesman Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has criticised the government, alleging that it has not adequately addressed the terrorism threat.
Specifically, he accused the president of rejecting an opportunity to acquire credible intelligence regarding threats to Ghana’s security.
Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe claimed that President Akufo-Addo declined to meet with two prominent retired generals, General Brigadier Joseph Nunoo-Mensah and General Napoleon Ashley-Lassen.
