Six persons have been killed and 12 houses torched during a clash over a renewed land dispute between the people of Doba and Kandiga in the Kassena-Nankana Municipal and Kassena-Nankana West District of the Upper East Region.
Two others sustained various degrees of injury and are currently receiving treatment at the Wa Memorial Hospital.
According to the Navrongo Municipal Police Command, the people of Doba got infuriated after some suspects from the Kandiga community were granted bail by the Bolgatanga High Court in connection with previous disturbances in the area.
Upon their return home, they were celebrated as heroes, thus the reprisal attack.
Ten persons have been arrested and will be arraigned before court today.
