Sporadic gunshots have been going on at Yendi in the Northern Region since Tuesday morning despite the presence of armed soldiers and police.
In the process, one person Musah Abdulai was wounded, bringing to three the total number of injured persons since the skirmishes between the Andani and Abudu chieftaincy gates of Dagbon started on Monday.
The Deputy Northern Regional Police Commander, Mr John Yali told the Ghana News Agency in Tamale on Tuesday that Yakubu Mahama alias Fuu Mahama and Abdulai Issahaku alias Bona Yuu were wounded during the Monday's clash.
Fuu Mahama was shot in the thigh and Bona Fuu in the knee. They are all on admission at the Yendi Hospital.
Mr Yali said there were no incidents on Monday night and that both factions respected the curfew.
He said security personnel were guarding vital installations at Yendi.
He could not, however, tell why the telephone link to Yendi has been broken.
Tension continues to mount at Yendi as supporters of both factions in the dispute continue to pour in from surrounding villages.
A dusk to dawn curfew was imposed on Yendi on Monday due to the tension between the Andani and Abudu chieftaincy gates to Ya-Na Skin
of the Dagbon Traditional Area.
The Northern Regional Security Committee deployed armed soldiers and police to the area and banned the celebration of this year's
annual Bugum (Fire) Festival at Yendi that was expected to take place on Monday night.
Tension had been mounting between the two gates since last January over the celebration of the Muslim Eid ul-Adha festival.
The Andani Gate that is currently occupying the Dagbon Skin was said not to have been happy when the rival Abudu Gate celebrated the festival in the traditional way at the house of its regent.
Since then, there had been rumours of an imminent attack and counter-attack by the rival chieftaincy gates, which boiled over into
an exchange of gunfire on Monday morning.
The clash was precipitated when one of the factions allegedly attacked a young man from the rival camp and destroyed his bicycle.
The District Chief Executive of Yendi, Mr Mohammed Habibu Tijani told the Ghana News Agency in a telephone interview on Monday that the
two sides exchanged fire for about five minutes.
There has been a long-standing dispute over the succession to the Ya-Na Skin.
