One person died in a clash between chiefdoms in Gomoa Nyanyano in the central region.
Properties counting thousands of cedis were also lost as a result of the incident.
Sources close to Citi News say that a ceremony of installation of the bottom chief by elders of the land of the stool of Gomoa Nyanyano after the disappearance of the chief of the city, Dr Nana Obeng Wiabo V, led to the clash.
In the early hours of Sunday, the confrontation between members of the Ottoman Earth and individuals from another faction led to the shooting and murder of the middle-aged man.
The situation forced community members to take shelter while religious services that were in session were also forced to close.
It took a strong police presence to prevent further violence in the region.
Frank Ayikwe, a former town principal, recounted the incident to Citi News.
“We performed all the rituals for the new leader, which is why we held the installation ceremony. During the process, we learned that armed men were attacking our sanctuary. The police were present at the time but could not do anything, so we had to use force to get through the doors of the shrine. Our attackers also destroyed some of our properties.
Ama Adadziwaa, the deceased’s sister, wants the authorities to get the perpetrators to book.
Meanwhile, the body of Kwesi Amoasi (deceased) was deposited at Kasoa Polyclinic.
