Nkwanta, a town in Ghana’s Oti Region, is reeling from a resurgence of violence that has claimed three lives and left many others injured.
The conflict, which began on Wednesday, January 16, spilled into Thursday night, throwing the once-bustling community into chaos and fear.
Eyewitness accounts describe harrowing scenes of unrest, with violent confrontations breaking out between unidentified groups.
Sporadic gunfire echoed through the night, amplifying panic among residents.
Families have locked themselves indoors, and businesses have shuttered as the town’s streets remain eerily deserted.
With no clear confirmation of security forces intervening, uncertainty looms over the town. Community leaders have expressed deep concern, urging authorities to act swiftly to contain the violence and address its root causes before more lives are lost.
This troubling flare-up of hostilities is a grim reminder of the region’s history of unrest.
Stakeholders are now calling for constructive dialogue to foster reconciliation and build a lasting peace.
As tensions persist, Nkwanta’s residents hope for immediate intervention to restore calm to their beleaguered community.
