The injured victims were rushed to the Nkwanta St. Joseph Catholic Hospital for emergency treatment. Hospital reports indicate that one person died while receiving care, while two others were brought in already deceased after being attacked on their farms.

 

At the time of reporting, the identities of the attackers remain unknown, and the exact circumstances leading to the latest incident are yet to be established.

 

Security agencies, supported by military personnel, have intensified patrols in the area in an effort to restore calm and prevent further violence.

The attack comes just a week after the Oti Regional House of Chiefs announced the formation of a seven-member committee to help address the protracted conflict in the municipality. The committee, which is yet to be inaugurated, is expected to engage stakeholders and recommend lasting solutions to the unrest.
