The Assembly member for Nakpanduri South, Mona-Dam said the shooting started at about 4pm Monday at a land boundary between the two feuding villages while some women were picking shear nuts.
He indicated that some residents alerted him that they had heard the sound of gunshots at the outskirts of Sayeegu.

“Yesterday, I was in the house and they called me that they were hearing some gunshots at the area. So I run quickly and went and informed the police and they told me there is no fuel for them to go, and I called the coordinating director’s line and it was not going through so I asked one assembly man in Bukprugu to go and check, and he told me that he (director) has traveled.
“I went and reported to the soldiers and they told me to go to the police first and I told them the police said they don’t have fuel… but they didn’t go”, he said.
He has since asked for security to be tightened in the area to avert any similar occurrence.
It will be recalled that the two communities were engaged in some violence in April this year over a land dispute.
