This comes after two persons were reported dead and numerous other sustaining injuries following similar chieftaincy clashes in the Atulbabisi community in Bolgatanga two years ago.
The disputes started after the Paramount Chief of Bolgatanga, Naba Martin Abilba III, passed on in 2013.
Although the chieftaincy dispute is currently pending at the Bolgatanga High Court, the eldest son of the last Bolga Paramount Chief and another royal are laying claim to the stool.
Meanwhile, a joint military and Police personnel have been deployed to the town to restore peace.
