Kulungugu bomb attack

On 1 August 1962, Kwame Nkrumah stopped in Kulungugu, a minor port of entry in the Pusiga District in Upper East Bawku.

Nkrumah was coming from a meeting with President Maurice Yaméogo in Tenkodogo, Burkina Faso, at the time known as Upper Volta.

[4][5][6] During the trip back to Ghana, heavy rains caused difficulties for the convoy on the country's bad roads.

The Presidential convoy stopped at an outskirts of Bawku to greet school children who had been waving and catching glimpses of the President.

A school child, Elizabeth Asantewaa,[7] approached the president with a bouquet of flowers, was severely injured when the bomb exploded.
