One person has been confirmed dead in a gun battle at Kokrobite in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.
Two other persons, including a 15-year-old boy, who sustained gunshot wounds and injuries are currently being treated at a hospital.
It is reported that the two factions involved in the gun battle were fighting over who had the right to perform rituals to lift the ban on drumming and noise making, which ended on Thursday, June 9.
“One faction warned the other not to engage in drumming and noise-making, since a chief of the town is dead.
“But that didn’t go down well with members of the other faction who took up arms and started firing, resulting in the death of one, while two others – including a 15-year-old boy – sustained gunshot wounds,” a resident told Citi News.
