A combined police and military team has been dispatched to the area to restore calm.

The Yendi District Police Commander, DSP Patrick Kwapong, has told Accra-based Citi FM that no deaths were recorded but several persons sustained injuries over the incident.

It is still unclear what triggered the renewed clash, but residents say it might be a reprisal attack of last year’s incident where many Bimoaba communities were torched.

The Chokosis and Bimobas in the Bumbruriga community are believed to have been at loggerhead over ownership of a portion of the Oti River that passes through the community.
