One Dead And Two Others Injured At Krokrobite

One person has been reported dead and two others injured in a gun battle at Krokrobite in the Ga South Municipality while a fifteen-year-old boy is receiving treatment at the hospital following the incident.

It’s believed that the two clans are involved in the gun battle over who has the right to perform rituals to lift the ban on drumming and noise-making.

It is unclear identify the accused persons but calm has been restored in the area after the Krokrobite Police invade the scene.

The ban on drumming and noise-making in the Ga State begins on May 9, 2022.

“This issue is between the two clans in Kokrobite who are fighting over who has the right to perform rituals to honor the lifting of the ban on drumming and noise-making”.

“One clan 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 clan who took up arms and started firing resulting in the death of one while two others including a fifteen-year-old boy sustained gunshot wounds,” Mary Obitse Saa, eyewitness narrated.

Jerry Nunoo, a physician Assistant at the Kokrobite Health Centre where the two other individuals who sustained gunshot wounds are being treated indicated the extent of gunshot wounds to the victims.

“Two victims were brought here after the gun battle. A 38-year-old woman and a 15-year-old boy. The 15-year-old boy suffered a puncture wound on the mid-arm on the right and the lady had a punctured wound on both thighs, but we will be referring them to the Weija Gbawe Municipal Hospital for further treatment,” Jerry Nunoo said.

However, the leadership of the two clans have been invited to the police headquarters for the sudden incident.
