Renewed violent clashes Sunday night in Bunkpurugu in the Northern Region left one person seriously injured and nine houses burnt.

The clashes between two feuding families to the Bunkpurugu skin, was triggered by the discovery of the lifeless bodies of two people from one of the factions who were declared missing for two days by the Police.

The Jamongs family, which is claiming title to the Bunkpurugu Skin, has been questioning the legitimacy of the ruling Jafoks family over the years. The dead, Kennedy Moajin and Bitian Piibak, both 22 years, were from the Jamongs family.

Calm has however been restored to the area and both the Police and the military are currently on high alert to prevent any further clash between the two families. No arrest has been made.

Two people were killed and properties destroyed last year when similar clashes broke out in the area but calm was restored after a 15-hour curfew.

More soon
