Bibiani: 5 shots by stray gunfire (Photos)
Police have verified that five individuals were shot by stray gunfire in Bibiani, in the Western North Region, after a dispute erupted between some youth groups and traditional authority.
Western North Regional Police Commander DCOP Ernest Akrasi Mensah remarked, “Yes, that is real, in an interview with newsmen. I am currently attempting to resolve the situation on the ground.
“It is not accurate to state that there have been clashes at a mining site. We picked a call in the morning that some young persons within the Bibiani mining enclave were not enthused about the idea of the traditional authorities who had served notice that they were going to perform a traditional rite in the river.”
“I have asked my Regional Police Commander and his team to engage both sides; the traditional authority and the youth group.” He added.
