Five people have been killed and six others were injured in a violent land dispute at Gbiniyiri, a farming community in the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District of the Savannah Region, early Sunday morning.
According to District Chief Executive Sinkina Saaka, the clash began after the community chief sold land to a private developer.
When the developer attempted to start work, some residents resisted.
Tensions escalated further when the chief and his son visited the site and were physically attacked.
