Deadly Clashes in Bunkprugu/Nakpanduri Displace Hundreds, Destroy Homes
Communal clashes in Ngagma-Gbregu, Bunkprugu/Nakpanduri district of Ghana’s North East Region have resulted in two deaths and displacement of over 500 people. The violence, which erupted following a dispute over the installation of rival chiefs by the Chief of Binde, lasted for three days, leaving severe destruction behind.
More than 150 homes were set ablaze, and 5,000 sacks of stored food were destroyed. This has led to dire conditions for the victims, particularly women and children, who have been without adequate food for several days.
The displaced victims are pleading for government assistance, especially food supplies to alleviate their suffering. During a visit by Abednago Bandim, the Member of Parliament for the area, victims called for urgent government intervention to ease their hardship.
