Calm restored to Kpandai after Konkomba-Fulani ethnic clash

Calm has returned to the Kpandai community in the Northern region following a clash between members of the Konkomba ethnic group and Fulani herdsmen.

Several properties, including cattle and a house belonging to the Fulani chief of Kpandai, were destroyed.

According to a Channel OneĀ  TV source, a Konkomba was returning home after work when some men suspected to be armed robbers attacked him on the way, trying to snatch his motorbike.

But he resisted, resulting in him being inflicted with cutlass on several parts of his body.

The incident got to Kpandai town and some tribesmen of the victim went to the Fulani chiefā€™s house and burned it, killing his cattle and taking the meat away.

It took the intervention of the police and military in Bimbilla to restore calm.

The District Chief Executive for Kpandai further called for security backup and indicated the victim has been transferred to the Tamale Teaching Hospital for medical treatment.
