Hundreds of people are fleeing Nkwanta township, within the Oti region to other to especially Accra and other destinations aftermath the mass gun-shot that rocked the municipality last Monday.
Some have sought refuge in other districts and safer havens with many moving to the national capital and elsewhere for safety.
Mr Joshua Makubu, the Oti Regional Minister, indicated to the media after a high-powered security meeting Wednesday, recommended humanitarian relief for people displaced in the disturbance.
He said after assessing the situation and strategies to deploy in the face of the 1700-0600-hour curfew imposed on the area by the Interior Ministry on Tuesday, relief is of prime essence.
He said the situation is calm but appealed to all to lay down arms and give peace a chance as reinforced security roams the streets of the town.
Meanwhile, the Monday shoot-out incident left behind conflicting figures of deaths, while the Mr Makubu confirmed a total of eight people shot dead, other sources claim the number as 13 or more.
The St Joseph Catholic and Nkwanta South Municipal Hospitals, this paper gathered are sited on Adele land and, therefore, Akyode people, who conflict with the Adele and Challa tribes would prevent their dead or injured people being sent to these facilities, which is fanning the different figures of people killed.
The other is the alleged burial of the fallen tribesmen according to Islamic principles, which is deepening the conflicting speculator numbers.
The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) is collaborating with sister offices and other stakeholders to assist in registering displaced persons beyond Nkwanta South for support.
