The incident which occurred on Friday has led to the burning of some houses and properties belonging to nomadic herdsmen in the Zongo community at Maame Krobo.

A swift intervention from the Eastern Regional Police Command prevented the incident from intensifying Friday evening as the police managed to convey the nomadic herdsmen from Mame Krobo to Donkokrom to prevent reprisal attacks.

Military officers were on Saturday morning flown in from Accra to assist the regional police command to manage the situation.
