Twenty-one people have been arrested after the people of two Niamina villagers squared off in a showdown that left 22 people injured.
“We can confirm the communal dispute between Nyamina Sambang Fula Kunda and Mandinka Kunda on 11th August 2020,” police spokesman Lamin Njie told The Fatu Network.
He added: “A fight erupted between the two communities resulting to 22 injuries from both including a woman and three compounds in Fula Kunda were burnt.
“A team of Police Officers were dispatched to the ground to maintain the peace.
“Equally, an investigation is opened into the matter.
“So far 21 people have been arrested while investigations continue.”
The Standard reported on Thursday fighting broke out after a donkey from one of the villages entered a farmland of the other village.
