One person has been killed and several others injured in a violent clash in Tishigu in the Northern Region over a chieftaincy dispute.
Violence erupted following the enskinnment of a disputed chief.
The Northern Regional Police Commander DCOP George Tuffour told Joy News calm has returned to the area.
According to him, eleven people have so far been arrested for their roles in the violent confrontation.
He said but for the timely intervention of the police who stopped the newly enskinned chief from entering into the Palace, there would have been a blood bath.
The victim’s body has been deposited at the Tamale Teaching Hospital’s Morgue.
