Nkwanta, a town in Oti Region, has once again become a hotspot of violence due to a renewed chieftaincy dispute.
The latest outbreak has resulted in heavy gunfire, causing many residents to flee their homes in search of safety.
The conflict, rooted in longstanding chieftaincy disagreements, has previously led to significant unrest in the area.
In January 2024, clashes between ethnic groups escalated during a traditional festival, resulting in at least 17 fatalities.
