Nkwanta South: Death toll from Odomi attack now 4 as curfew takes effect

The death toll from the violent attack at Odomi in the Nkwanta South Municipality of the Oti Region has risen to four, following the death of one of the injured victims at the hospital. The incident, which occurred on Friday, also left ten other people with gunshot wounds and has intensified tensions in the area, which has been grappling with a long-standing ethnic and land dispute. Authorities say the latest fatality has further heightened concerns over security in the municipality, where peace efforts have repeatedly struggled to resolve recurring clashes linked to disagreements among the Adele, Akyode and Challa communities over land ownership.
