HISTORY OF THE CLASH
On Thursday November 7, 2018, One person was reported dead with two others severely injured after a clash between Konkombas and Dagombas at Nakpachie in the Yendi Municipality of the Northern Region.
About five houses have been torched in the conflict, forcing residents to flee their homes to Yendi and other surrounding towns.
According to reports, the dispute ensued on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 when a drove of pigs of a Konkomba man trampled the maize farm of a Dagomba man.
Enraged by the destruction, the Dagomba man shot and killed one of the pigs, sparking a conflagration between the two ethnic groups.
Reports say with the aid of his kinsmen, the pig farmer tried to snatch the gun from the maize farmer but the pig farmer’s leg was shot in the struggle.
This led to a reprisal attack by the Konkombas, resulting in the death of one person.
But police and military have been deployed to the scene to maintain peace.
