Two women are said to be in critical condition at the Hohoe government hospital in the Volta region, after they were shot at Alavanyo-Dzogbedze, Wednesday afternoon.
The victims, believed to be in their late sixties were returning from their farms when they were attacked by unknown gunmen, alleged to have come from Nkonya.
According to a source in the area, the assailants however, absconded upon the arrival of soldiers at the scene.
This latest incident is suspected to be in retaliation to the killing of the Adontenhene of Nkonya-Ahenkro at his farm on Monday, and the shooting of a 31 years old woman at Nkonya-Kadjebi on Tuesday evening.
Interestingly, this afternoon shooting comes few hours after visit by the Volta regional minister, Helen Ntoso led members of security council to meet with leaders of both Nkonya and Alavanyo earlier today.
Madam Ntoso has therefore expressed shock the turn of events, but assured to beef of security to prevent further reprisal attacks.
