10 arrested over Kassena-Nankana clashes

Police in Navrongo have arrested 10 people over renewed clashes in Kassena-Nankana in the Upper East Region. Six people have been killed and twelve houses torched after some residents from the Doba & Kantiga

communities clashed over a parcel of land intended for a police station. The Navrongo Municipal Police Commander, DSP Francis Agyare said the 10 suspects are currently assisting the police with investigations

adding that security has been beefed in the two communities to maintain calm. “The conflict between the two factions is land litigation. The renovation of an existing building into a police station to mitigate the frequent robbery on the people of the place caused the

chaos,” he said.” For now we have arrested 10 suspects and we have also retrieved a lot of double barreled shotguns and cartridges from them. For now, we are on the grounds maintaining peace so peace is prevailing,” DSP Agyare added.
