A violent clash between Dagombas and Konkombas in Zabzugu in the Northern region has resulted in four deaths and three injuries.

According to reports, the conflict erupted in Kuntumbiyili, a Konkomba community in Zabzugu, after a group of Dagombas went hunting in the area.

Locals say that during the hunting expedition, a bushfire was set, which destroyed farm sheds belonging to some Konkombas.

This led to a confrontation, escalating into a gun battle between the two groups.
