The two unidentified men died after being shot and machete wounded
Two people were confirmed dead after renewed fighting last Thursday between the scrap merchants and the indigenous Dagomba line in Kumasi on a parcel of land.
The two unidentified men died after being wounded by gunshot and machete in a quarrel that began last Tuesday.
Ashanti regional police command public relations officer, Mr Godwin Ahianyo, who confirmed the deaths to the Daily Graphic, said that 120 suspects, including 15 women, had been apprehended as a result of the clashes.
The trial court of Asokore Mampong, last Friday, placed the suspects on remand so that they reappear on July 19, 2019.
The railway line
A source on the royal stool of Asem, owners of the disputed land, is also fighting against the Ghana Railway Company on the same ground as a result of the project of eviction of illegal occupants. The occupants are being moved for the reconstruction of the old railway line.
The source described the quarrel between the two groups on the Dagomba line as in vain because none of them has the right to land.
Mr Ahianyo, from ASP, said that calm had been restored and that there was a strong police and military presence in the densely populated Muslim community to prevent this from happening again.
