At least one person has been confirmed dead at Bomaa in the Tano North municipality of the Ahafo Region following a chieftaincy dispute in the community on Sunday.
Local officials say several others were also injured and are receiving treatment at the hospital.
The dispute is between two families feuding over who becomes the next chief of Bomaa following the death of Nana Kwafo Akoto.
Calm has since been restored in the area, according to the chairman of the regional security council, George Yaw Boakye.
“We’ve imposed curfew so as at now the place is quiet,” Boakye told Asaase News. “They [police] are now investigating, so until the investigation is completed, we can’t arrest anybody.”
The leader of the Patriotic Youth of Bomaa, Isaac Adjei Boateng explaining what happened to Asaase News called for calm in the area.
“It is unfortunate that this has happened in Bomaa. I think the youth would have to calm down and have a look at the incident because they cannot take the law into their hands,” Boateng said.
