The konkomba farmers are also suspected to have burnt down the houses of the fulani herdsmen in a reprisal which has left over 562 families homeless.

The burning of the wooden structures serving as houses for the herdsmen took place at the Basari Line near Bodinka in the Sene East District of the Brong Ahafo region. The konkomba farmers were demanding GHC 800 from the fulani herdsmen to serve as compensation for the destroyed farms.

So far, over 115 cattle, 67 sheep have been slaughtered whiles 35 houses torched. Several valuable items amounting to over GHs 360,000 have also been destroyed. 

Confirming the incident in an interview with Ghanadistricts.com, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Sene East, Abraham Mbanye indicated that the assembly was however, closely monitoring the issue to help avert similar conflicts between the two factions from recurring. 

Paramount Chief of Basa Traditional Council, Nana Owusu III, who allocated the land to the fulani herdsmen has also condemned the attack.
