Bimoba/Konkomba clash: police retrieve weapons

The Northern Regional Police Command says it had retrieved one AK 47 raffle and a locally manufactured weapon which they suspect were used for the violence between Bimobas and Konkombas which led to the death of two and injuring others.

The Police say investigations are still on-going to retrieve more of such weapons and capture all culprits involved in the clash.

The Regional Public Affairs Director, ASP Ebenezer Tetteh, confirmed the death of two people and the seven injured to Frontline today.

He said the seven who sustained gunshot wounds as a result of the violence were receiving treatment.

ASP Tetteh therefore pleaded with the general public to feed the police with information to help them quickly intercept the weapons.

He said some residents had planned violence, but the police were assuring that the identity of informants would be protected.

He added that the police had several measures for those in possession of weapons including cash reward for people who would willingly release weapons in their possessions to the police.
