OMGGhana has received confirmation that a four-hour meeting by the Overlord of the Mamprugu Traditional area, the Nayiri has effectively led to a resolved conflict between rival ethnic groups Bimobas and Konkombas.
The bloody clashes between the two ethnic groups started about two weeks ago which led to the death of three people in Kpemale, a village in the Bunkpurugu District and several houses torched.
The meeting, attended by Chiefs of both ethnic groups on Saturday March 16, 2013,yielded a result as the Nayiri ruled that the Bimobas should continue to pay homage to the Nankpanduri Chief who is a Bimoba whereas the Konkombas should also continue to pay homage to the Chief of Kpemale who happens to be a Konkomba.
Although some Konkombas live within the traditional jurisdiction of the Nankpanduri Chief, they have never paid homage to him because he is a Bimoba. The same applies to Bimobas who live within the Jurisdiction of the Kpemale Chief.
As far as the piece of land over which the two ethnic groups clashed is concerned, the Paramount Chief ruled that none of the two sides should lay claim to the property

The Nayiri has said he will properly demarcate the land in contention at the right time.
