The security at Lugni has two suspects in custody for local chieftaincy disputes.
The police patrol squad in the town detained the two after spotting them with guns: Kofi Binyam and one Mensah, a local plumber.
Following many gunshots from a chieftaincy dispute, residents of Lugni in the Nanumba South District of the Northern Region fled for their safety on Thursday.
When one Konkomba leader requested permission to be enskinned as the chief of the Konkombas in Lugni, the regent of Lugni sparked a conflict. Another Konkombas clan, though, disagreed with that choice.
The Binyam and Naamuhi clans are at odds with one another.
According to sources cited by Citi News, the offended clan began shooting rounds on Thursday night as plans were being made to remove the chief from his post. The Binyam clan is said to have assaulted the Naamuhi clan.
The Binyam clan objected to the Nanung chief of Lugni, enskinning the Naamuhi clan as the Konkomba chief for Lugni, which sparked the shooting incident on Thursday night.
As a result, there was a lot of tension in the community, and the military and police intervened to calm things down.
