The Northern Regional Minister, Bede Zeiden visited Bimbilla, where he led a team from the Regional Security Council to meet the two factions in the Bimbilla chieftaincy divide, to agree on how to maintain peace in the area.

Two factions in the area clashed over burial arrangements for the Chief of the town, who passed away on Wednesday.
