Nine persons are feared dead in clashes between two feuding factions at Kiblima, a community in the Bole/Bamboi district of the Northern Region.
An opinion leader in the area narrated to Citi News that the enskinment of Kilblima-Wura Suale Mahama by the overlord of Gonjaland traditional area triggered the bloody conflict which started on Wednesday.
[contextly_sidebar id=”3qo1KB6sdfEawyNeZkIfiH50EF6EgRxf”]According to him, residents of the community rejected Kiblima-Wura Suale Mahama and also enskinned their preferred choice.
They described Kiblima-Wura Suale Mahama’s enskinment as an imposition on the community, hence their action.
They have vowed to resist any attempt to reimpose the chief on them and insisted their preferred choice should govern them, he alerted.
The deceased he revealed are yet to be identified because they are suspected mercenaries from Lamashegu and Nakpanzoo communities in the Tamale Metropolitan Area.
Some residents of the community have fled to Bole township and adjoining villages.
The police have so far remained tongue tied on the frightening phenomenon which requires rapid response.
