The affected communities include Paboni, Yidaani, Kukpok, Busun No. 1, Busun No. 2, Nagnani, Nayagile, Donbin, Kolik, Tinyongu and Klokpan, all located within the Northern Region.

In a statement issued on Thursday, April 30, the government urged chiefs, elders, opinion leaders, the youth and residents of the area to exercise restraint despite the challenges confronting them. It emphasised the need for stakeholders to adopt non-violent means in addressing disputes and maintaining peace in the district. Authorities also reiterated the importance of community cooperation in sustaining the gains made in restoring calm. Residents have been encouraged to support security agencies and uphold law and order to prevent any relapse into unrest.
