The incident which occurred around 5pm on Thursday December 25, left several others people injured and leaving the community in fear. The man who was badly hit by the bullet was rushed to the hospital where he is receiving treatment. Nobody have an idea where they come from and the motive behind the shootings .
According to reports following the periodic shooting, there has been an age old misunderstanding between Nkonya and Alavanyo which has led to government placing a curfew on the two towns. Their feuds have left several people dead and several others severely injured. It is however unclear if this latest incident can be linked to the age old conflict. Due to the curfew imposed in the two towns security presence is high in the two towns.
Early this month, two paramount Chiefs, from Alavanyo and Nkonya wrote a letter of apology to President Mahama over recent happenings in their towns. These two Chiefs pledged to ensure that peace prevailed in the town but this has become a challenge that the Chiefs alone are unable to handle.

It is also being reported that there are unscrupulous persons using the tensions between the two towns to settle their personal scores. The Chiefs have however considered joining forces to fight impostors who want to feed on the differences between the two towns to cause havoc and create chaos.The police in the region are still investigating into the shooting.
