The Bono Regional Police Command has restored calm at Sampa in the Jaman North District after a violent clash between two rival factions, Samormodua and Sambga Gyafla, at the Sampa main market on Sunday, October 5, 2025.
According to a statement from the Police, the confrontation involved an exchange of gunfire between the groups, leading to the burning of several stores in the market area.
