Sene-dindee: Ethnic clashes between the Sissala and Dagaaba people at Sene-Dindee, a farming community in the Lambissie District, have claimed the life of a 75-year-old man, leaving many others injured.
According to Ghana News Agency, the victim's body has been conveyed to the St. Theresa's Hospital at Nandom for preservation and autopsy, while the injured are receiving treatment at the St. Theresa's Hospital and Lambissie Health Centre. The clashes began with misunderstandings between the communities on August 21st and 22nd, 2025, escalating the next day when armed men from a neighboring settlement attacked, firing indiscriminately and setting ablaze a house, three motorbikes, and a tricycle.
The Upper West Regional Police Command, in a statement signed by DCOP Mr. Darko Offei Lomotey, reported that four single-barrel guns, a bow and arrows, cutlasses, and other offensive weapons were retrieved, and security has been restored through sustained patrols and monitoring.
Led by DCOP Mr. Lomotey, the Regional Police Command has scheduled community engagements at Sene-Dindee and nearby Kouro on Tuesday, August 26, to prevent further violence. The Command has assured the public of its commitment to safeguarding lives and properties and urged residents to remain calm, encouraging the use of peaceful and lawful mechanisms for resolving disputes.
