Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Abdul Osman Razak, the National Security Coordinator, is leading a high-level government delegation to Nkwanta in the Oti Region following violent clashes that rocked the area last week.
The disturbances, which claimed the lives of five individuals and left numerous others severely injured, have raised security concerns and left the community in a state of fear and uncertainty.
The violence erupted last week under circumstances that are yet to be fully clarified by authorities.
Sporadic gunfire was reported during the clashes, causing widespread panic and forcing residents to flee their homes.
Several families have been displaced, with many seeking refuge in neighbouring communities.
The violence has also disrupted daily life, with schools in the area remaining closed and businesses struggling to operate under the prevailing conditions.
The presence of gunfire not only resulted in tragic fatalities but also left several people with severe injuries, some of whom are receiving treatment at local health facilities.
The clashes have strained the already limited medical resources in the area, prompting calls for urgent government intervention.
