quist 10:48 - 12 March 2016

Two factions , the Adama and Nukpornuku families have both been installed, have been at each other claiming ownership to the paramount stool.

Residents of Agbozume in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta Region have been living in fear after fierce chieftancy dispute erupted Friday.

The situation is further being aggravated as the Adama family are preparing to outdoor their installed chief Togbe Adama III, disregarding an interlocutory injunction placed on the outdooring of the Chief by the Judicial Committee of the Volta Regional House of Chiefs.

Addressing a press conference in Ho, Nukpornuku family says if the outdooring is allowed to come off, it will be a breach of peace.

"We don't want any bloodshed in Some. We want the people of Some to enjoy their peace, so the outdooring should stop,"

The Nukpornuku family, therefore, is calling on the security agencies to intervene for peace to prevail.
