Battle for survival
In revenge, the huge mammal vent out its anger on both men but one of them managed to escape whilst the other's life was drained out completely by the elephant.
Pulse.com.gh reports that after killing and mutilating the body of the farmer completely on Wednesday, August 25, 2021, the elephants proceeded to invade three other communities; Soanvusi, Nasuan, and Tuna.
Police personnel from the Gambaga District have begun an investigation into the incident with the help of a medical officer from the Baptist Medical center in Nalerigu.
The deceased is reported to have left behind eight boys, and five girls aside from his three wives.
Elephants that returned to Ghana
Just four months ago, YEN.com.gh reported that a herd of elephants had been spotted in the Upper West Region crossing the Bolgatanga-Bawku road after they reportedly migrated from Ghana over the last two decades.
According to a narration sighted by YEN.com.gh on the Twitter handle of @Ghanaspotlight, it was indicated that in Ghana, the elephants normally migrate along the Red and White Voltas, as well as the Morgan and Sisily river corridors.
However, from 2005 to 2012, the wild mammals left the shores of Ghana and had not been seen all through the ages until then that they were making their heavy comeback.
