Residents of Oblogo in Accra still live in fear despite increased police presence in the area two weeks after the assassination of a disputed chief.
Ten people suspected to have taken part in the murder of Nii Kwaku Bibini II, a rival chief of Oblogo, near Weija have so far been arrested with five remaining in police custody.
Joy News reporter Francis Abban who was in the community Monday, said there appeared to be calm but that upon speaking to some of the residents it became clear they still lived in fear.
Shop owners in the area, according to him, have been compelled to close early, fearing reprisal attacks by factions in the feud.
Teachers at a school directly opposite the Palace where Nii Bibini was killed fear that classes may be disrupted if the impasse is not resolved before schools re-open next month.
Before schools went on vacation, one teacher explained, parents picked up their children earlier than the normal closing hours. This, he said, had compelled the school to close at midday instead of 3pm.
