Tensions were heightened in June after residents in Nkonya reportedly fired shots into Alavanyo, prompting fears of further clashes which were eventually averted through the intervention of the chiefs.

A press statement issued by the Minister of Interior, Mark Woyongo noted that the curfew will start from 8pm and end at 5am.

It further urged the chiefs to use established mechanisms for the resolution of all conflicts and disputes in both towns.

“Government continues to express its appreciation to the Chiefs, Elders, Opinion Leaders, Youth and people of the area for their efforts in ensuring peace in the area and urges them to use the established mechanisms for the resolution of all their conflicts and disputes,” the statement indicated.

Meanwhile, government has banned residents in both communities from carrying arms, ammunition or any offensive weapon.

Read the full statement below:

“The Minister of the Interior has on the advice of the Volta Regional Security Council and by the Executive Instrument renewed the Curfew imposed on Alavanyo and Nkonya Townships with effect from Friday 29th August, 2014.
