The Northern Regional Security Council (RECSEC), dispatched a reinforcement to the area

Nakpanduri clashes: 3 arrested, several weapons retrieved
Three suspects have been arrested in connection
with the renewed clashes over land between the
Sayeegu and Sambiluk Bimoba clans in a community
near Nakpanduri Township in the Bunkprugu/Yunyoo
district of the Northern Region.

The Chief of Sayeegu, his brother, the son, and a
teacher, were killed on their farmland following
the clashes there.

The Northern Regional Security Council (RECSEC),
dispatched a reinforcement to the area to avert
any spillover.

A joint military and police patrol team have so
far picked three persons and retrieved several
cache of both locally manufactured and
sophisticated weapons.

Citi News’ multiple sources on the ground say
women and children (the vulnerable), have since
fled the troubled community into neighboring Togo.


A parcel of farmland has been a bone of contention
between the two rival Bimoba clans in the
Nakpanduri enclave.

Just a week ago, the Jamong and Jafog Bimoba clans
in Bunkprugu Township celebrated the first
Anniversary of the Blood Burial ceremony which was
initiated as a permanent ceasefire to similar
deadly clashes in the past.
