Madam Elizabeth Anku was said to have gone to her farm on Saturday but met her untimely death.
She was said to be picking mangoes in the farm which is just a 100-meter away from her house, Volta Regional Minister, Dr. Archibald Letsa, confirmed to the media
The death comes on the heels of a similar exchange of fire which resulted in the death of two persons exactly a month ago.
According to Dr. Archibald Letsa, the situation was under control as security has been beefed-up to forestall any reprisals.
He explained that security personnel had gone on keep-fit when they heard the exchange of gunfire.
They quickly had to prepare and search for the persons behind the exchange of the gunfire.
In the process, one woman was said to be missing but was later found dead on her farm with gunshot wounds, Dr Letsa further explained.
She has since been sent to the mortuary for autopsy. Residents of Nkonya and Alavanyo have been fighting for years over a piece of land.
The fight has led to several deaths and destruction of properties. Government is threatening to take over the piece of land but some of the chiefs at the centre of the feud have rejected the proposal.
