One person has been shot at Alavanyo Agorme in the Volta Region following what can be described as a renewal of the longstanding Alavanyo-Nkonya conflict.
The victim, who has been described as the Odikro of the town, is seriously wounded and currently in critical condition at the Margaret Marquart Catholic Hospital at Kpando.
Eyewitnesses said that there was sporadic shooting by some unknown persons in the town on Sunday afternoon and the bullet allegedly hit the 52-year-old when he tried to run indoors.
