About six persons have suffered various machete wounds after confusion broke out at a rally of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Reports indicate the incident occurred at Sung in the Karaga District of the Northern Region which happens to be a stronghold of the New Patriotic Party.
Information gathered by Adom News suggested that several persons were bused to the community amid the display by motor riders clad in NDC t-shirts.
The suspected members of the NDC in a convoy reportedly rode to an NPP pavilion which parked the confusion.
This led to reprisal attacks after a known NPP member is said to have questioned the rationale behind their action.
