At least three people have been confirmed dead, and several others injured following a violent resurgence of conflict in Nkwanta, located in Ghana’s Oti Region. The unrest, which began on Wednesday, January 16, continued into the night of Thursday, January 17, leaving residents fearful and the situation increasingly volatile.

Reports indicate sporadic gunfire from unidentified sources, with video footage obtained by Citi News capturing the sounds of gunshots and widespread property damage. Local sources suggest the violence is rooted in tribal tensions, involving clashes between three indigenous groups: the Challa and Adele communities on one side, and the Achodes on the other.

The security response to the ongoing violence remains unclear, with no official confirmation regarding the deployment of forces to restore order. Tensions remain high as the region grapples with the aftermath of the fighting.
