As part of the mediation process, the committee set up by the Northern Regional Security Council (REGSEC) is expected to today June, 3, 2014 hold a meeting with the feuding factions at Yiyamba and Biriyamba farming settlements in the Gushiegu district.
The seven member committee chaired by Deputy Northern Regional Minister, A.B.A Fuseini will meet with representatives of the two factions at the Gushiegu District Assembly.
Citi News gathered that the two Konkomba clans at Yiyamba and Biriyamba recently clashed over a pending chieftaincy dispute contrary to earlier media reports that they fought over a parcel of farmland.
The said lingering chieftaincy dispute erupted between the two clans prior to the 2012 general elections.
Combatants from both sides of the chieftaincy divide have been re-strategizing to launch an attack in case of the slightest provocation, hence the recent hostilities.
This signifies that the seven member committee will have to tackle the conflict as such.
Three persons were reported dead whilst several households were torched during the recent clash.
Preliminary reports indicated that the combatants engaged in a fearless gun battle over a parcel of farmland.
