According to him, the residents took advantage of the cover of darkness and fired indiscriminately into areas occupied by opposing factions.
The armed men fired petrol bombs as well.
"When the police got there, they met these two factions seriously fighting among themselves, inflicting machete wounds, brandishing machetes, clubs; any offensive weapon that they laid their hands on. Police had to call in the Fire Service because they were setting [ablaze] houses, structures and anything that they see. Then the military came in to assist us," ASP Godwin Ahianyoh added.
