One person has been arrested following the bloody intra-ethnic chieftaincy clashes in Bimbilla in the Nanumba North district of the Northern region.
The Bimbilla Police Commander, DSP Benjamin Aniah who confirmed the incident to Adom News said, the prime suspect, Abdulai Sang was picked up by the police Wednesday night following police intelligence.
Last month, Bimbilla descended into chaos following renewed chieftaincy clashes in the area leading to the loss of 13 lives and a refugee situation.
A situation, attributed to the Bimbilla regent’s flagrant disregard to cautions by both the Regional Security Council (REGSEG) and District Security Council (DIESEC) to defer the installation of a sub-chief in the area.
Ten people died as a result of the renewed clashes.
DSP Benjamin Aniah said some irate youth who were not happy over the arrest of Abdulai Sang set some houses ablaze but fled the scene.
He said some personnel has been deployed to maintain law and order in the area.
