The Karaga Security Council in the Northern region has declared a curfew following an altercation between Karaga residents and military personnel.
The clash led to the unfortunate death of one individual and left three others injured.
The dispute allegedly started when a new regent was chosen after the community’s self-proclaimed chief passed away.
Supporters gathered at the regent’s residence on Monday, March 25, to show their allegiance, prompting intervention from the military to disperse the crowd and prevent any potential unrest.
Unfortunately, the situation deteriorated rapidly, with some individuals allegedly throwing projectiles at the military. There was a reaction with gunfire, leading to the loss of life.
