A night of music and entertainment turned violent in the early hours of Friday, December 26, 2025, when a disturbance broke out at the DJ Amass Dance Concert in Wellembelle, in the Sissala East Municipality of the Upper West Region, leaving two men with stab wounds.

The incident occurred at about 1:40 a.m. when a confrontation between two men at the crowded concert escalated into a physical fight. According to police sources, during the altercation, one of the men allegedly pulled out a sharp object and stabbed another individual in the left thigh.
Moments after the initial stabbing, friends of the injured man reportedly retaliated, attacking the suspect and stabbing him in the abdomen. The second victim sustained a deep abdominal wound, prompting immediate concern among patrons at the event.

Police officers who were on duty in the area swiftly intervened to prevent further violence and restore calm. Both individuals involved in the stabbing were arrested and identified as Mujeeb Mumuni, aged 18, and Bukuri Taulep, aged 25. Police confirmed that the two suspects are also victims of the incident.
The injured men were rushed to nearby health facilities for medical attention. Bukuri Taulep, who suffered the more severe injury, was later referred to the Wa Regional Hospital for further treatment, while Mujeeb Mumuni is receiving care locally.
