Over 200 Flee Nkwanta Amid Renewed Violence.
Around 200 residents have fled Nkwanta, the capital of the Nkwanta South Municipality, to nearby safe areas like Pampawie and Ahamansu in the Kadjebi District following violent clashes. These areas, which border Nkwanta, have become refuges for those escaping the violence. Eyewitnesses claim the conflict began during a funeral when armed men attacked the gathering. Seven people have been killed, and several properties, including homes and shops, have been destroyed. The military and police have been deployed, patrolling the deserted streets, while displaced individuals continue to seek safety. Locals are urging for a peaceful resolution to the longstanding ethnic disputes fueling the violence.
