A renewed communal clash in the Nkwanta South Municipality of the Oti Region has left a 43-year-old woman, Mrs. Naomi Foligah, hospitalized, and several homes set ablaze.

The violent incident occurred on Wednesday night in Tuobodon, a sub-community within the municipality, sparking concerns over the escalating tensions in the area.

According to Class News sources, two houses were torched during the clashes.

Mrs. Naomi Foligah was reportedly protecting her children when she was shot below the breast.

She was quickly rushed to St. Joseph Catholic Hospital, where she is currently receiving treatment.

In recent years, Nkwanta South has witnessed numerous violent clashes, over land and tribal disputes resulting in several deaths.

Since last year, the municipality has been under curfew due to the ongoing tensions.

The clashes have disrupted education, forced the closure of government offices, and led many residents to flee the area for safety.

Despite efforts by authorities to restore peace, the violence has continued, with security forces struggling to contain the situation.

The Nkwanta Divisional Police Command has launched an investigation into the latest clash.

However, the exact cause of this particular outbreak of violence remains unknown.

Security personnel, including the Ghana Police Service, the Ghana Armed Forces, and the Ghana National Fire Service, were deployed to the area but struggled to bring the flames under control, as several structures were already destroyed.

Authorities have urged residents to remain calm and refrain from any actions that could worsen the situation.
