A tense confrontation erupted in Kula in the Northern Region as farmers accused hunters of setting fire to their farms.
This has sparked outrage and concern across several communities.
The blaze allegedly ravaged hundreds of acres of farmland, destroying crops such as cowpea, rice, and maize, and leaving many families facing significant losses.
Eyewitnesses claim the fire was sparked by hunters, who have long been at odds with farmers over land use.
Bush burning typically intensifies between December and January each year, often resulting in the destruction of farmlands.
