The information available to My News Ghana’s desk has it that at least one person has been confirmed dead and four others severely wounded after communal violence broke out between two rival groups at Lakula near Daboya in the Savannah Region.
We gathered that the violence was triggered by a misunderstanding over the construction of a mosque.
However, much details of the violent was still unfolding, as of the time this report was filed, but the source told media, shootings started after some young men transporting blocks to the village for the mosque project were resisted.
Three of the injured victims were treated and discharged and one has been referred to Walewale, a staff at Mankarigu health centre has also confirmed.
An official at the health centre, who pleaded anonymity, said the victim who was referred suffered skull fracture and was in serious condition.
“We have received four casualties and one has been referred to Walewale. The ones we’re attending are cutlasses but I heard there was a gunshot but I didn’t see it”, according to the health staff.
“His own… it seems it has even gotten to the skull, so we said it’s beyond our level, but we were able to manage for them to move further,” the anonymous health official said.
