A violent clash that erupted between two ethnic groups at Nanduni, a farming community in the Chereponi District in the Northern Region on Monday night, December 31, 2018 has reportedly led to the death of three persons.
Several persons have sustained severe gunshots and machete wounds while a number of houses and property have been set ablaze.
It has emerged that the incident that has resulted in residents fleeing to neighbouring Togo for safety because of the fear of reprisal attacks, is a renewed dispute between the Konkonba and Chekosi ethnic groups over land.
Meanwhile, the PRO of the Northern Regional Police Command, ASP Yussif Tanko says the renewed clash between the Kokombas and the Chokosis in the Chereponi area has led to much property being destroyed.
According to him, the attack started Tuesday but the police have deployed personnel to the area to salvage the situation.
