“The pig belonging to a Konkomba man entered a Dagomba man’s farm so the Dagomba shot the pig. When the owner of the pig confronted the farm owner, the farm owner shot the pig owner in the thigh.â€
“This infuriated the Konkombas who came in their numbers because their kinsman had been shot. So quickly I mobilized police and military men. When we got there they had burnt three houses and were going to burn the fourth house but they took to their heels when they saw us. Later, we saw someone in a gutter with his face covered. When we got closer, we saw that the person was dead,†he added.
