Following advice from the Volta Regional Security Council, the Ministry of Interior has reviewed the curfew hours imposed in the Alavanyo and Nkonya townships from 11:00pm to 5:00am effective Friday, 28th October, 2016.<\/p>\n

The Ministry has on the advice of the Northern Regional Security Council also renewed the curfew hours of the Kpatinga, Bimbilla and Bunkpurugu townships.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”8mXJD3ubWughQLVFw5IvXDCHTSh6SZCk”]Kpatinga\u2019s curfew hours have been renewed from 12:00 midnight to 4:00am, Bimbila from 10:00pm to 4:00am and Bunkpurugu from 8:00pm to 6:00am; all effective Friday, 28th October, 2016.<\/p>\n

A statement from the Interior Ministry announcing these developments said, \u201cGovernment continues to urge chiefs, opinion leaders, youth and people of the area to exercise restraint in the face of the challenges confronting them and to use non-violent means to channel their energies into ensuring peace to the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement also noted that there is a total ban on all persons in these communities and surrounding areas from \u201ccarrying arms, ammunition or any offensive weapon. Any person found with any arms or ammunition will be arrested and prosecuted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Land dispute Alavanyo,\u00a0Nkonya<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alavanyo and Nkonya have been involved in a bloody conflict<\/strong><\/a><\/span> over a disputed land case for decades, despite several attempts by government, religious leaders and other groups to resolve the violence peacefully.<\/p>\n

In December 2014, there were renewed clashes following gunshots<\/strong><\/a><\/span> that left one person dead.<\/p>\n

Tensions in\u00a0Bunkpurugu<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several clashes between the factions in bunkpurugu\u00a0have resulted in numerous deaths and curfews, a trend that has risen over the last few years.<\/p>\n

Most recently, the\u00a0police administration has confirmed that 35 houses were destroyed<\/a><\/strong><\/span> during the renewed chieftaincy clashes in Bunkprugu Township between the Jamong and Jafog Bimoba clans.<\/p>\n

Three persons died whilst an unknown number of people fled the area into neighboring Togo.<\/p>\n

Butchers and regent emissaries clashing in Bimbila<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2014, the Interior Ministry \u00a0placed a twelve hour curfew on the Bimbilla township\u00a0because of a shooting incident which led to the death of the overload of the town, Naa Dasana Abdulai Andani II.<\/p>\n

\"bimbilla<\/a><\/p>\n

The shooting was triggered by a disagreement between two chieftaincy factions over where to bury the late chief of the town, Nakpaa-Naa\u00a0Salifu Dawuni.<\/p>\n

Earlier in 2016, there were also deadly clashes between some aggrieved butchers and emissaries of the Bimbila Regent.<\/p>\n
