Another casualty recorded amid chieftaincy dispute at Nkwanta

The area has been reported to be a hotbed of disturbances in the last few weeks, prompting a curfew in the area.

At least 12 people have been killed in disturbances believed to be land- and chieftaincy-related.

The fresh hostilities come just days after the Chairman of the Municipal Security Council, Bright Lenwah, announced plans to tighten security following what he says are the fresh twists in the conflict.

Speaking to JoyNews’ Peter Senoo, Mr. Lenwah said investigations have uncovered that the dispute is spreading to neighbouring communities.
