A tribal conflict between the Sisaala and Dagaaba communities in the twin communities of Sina and Dindee, Lambusie District, Upper West Region of Ghana, has led to the deaths of two people. The conflict began on August 21, 2025, and escalated on August 22, 2025.

According to reports, the conflict started after a Sisaala man allegedly damaged crops on a Dagao’s farm. In response, a Dagao shot and killed a goat that had entered their farm. In a separate incident, a Dagao’s goat entered a Sisaala man’s farm and was killed in retaliation. This led to the Dagaaba community beating to death the Sisaala man, a retired staff member of the Ministry of Agriculture. In retaliation, the Sisaala community killed a Dagao.

Sporadic shootings have been reported in and around Sina and Dindee. The Dagaaba community allegedly burned down the residence of former DCE Kofi Diyaka in Sina.

Despite the violence, a reliable source indicates calm has been restored to the area.
