A combined force of military and police personnel arrived in Nkwanta on Friday, January 17 to restore law and order and quell the ongoing violence in the area.
The deployment, witnessed by the Ghana News Agency (GNA) team, included four military buses, three pickups, two armored cars, six police pickups from Tamale, and an additional FPU bus from Ho.
Sources available to GNA indicated that the security personnel have been tasked with maintaining law and order while ensuring the safety of residents and property in the area.
The ongoing conflict in the Nkwanta township stems from a long-standing ethnic dispute, which has fueled tensions among the Akyodes, Adeles, and Challas in the catchment area.
Residents, who have been living in fear due to the conflict, have expressed relief at the arrival of the security personnel.
The situation in the Nkwanta township remains calm but tense as residents wait to see if the deployment will be sufficient to bring lasting peace to the area.
