Nine people have been killed in an attack at Zakoli, a suburb of Yendi.
Four more people also got injured in the two settler community attacks, where several homes were burnt and properties destroyed.
Community members suspect a reprisal attack over a robbery incident in which two people were killed at Zagbang on the Yendi Zabzugu road. But some said they were not told the reason for the attack.
A resident, Salifu Ibrahim said they were resting in their rooms when suddenly, they heard some gunshots outside and when they came out, they noticed some people had been shot.
He said several houses were torched whiles motorbikes were made away with.
Another resident, Osman, said he was in a pen when he heard people approaching the place.
He said when he stepped out, they had begun burning some huts.
