A violent clash between two rival groups of small-scale miners at the Akrokerri Police Station in Adansi North has left two people injured.
The confrontation erupted over a leadership dispute concerning small-scale mining operations in the area.
Speaking to Adom News, Nana Osei Yaw, a mining site owner, accused Christian Twumasi, popularly known as Akwala, of mismanaging small-scale mining regulations.

He claimed that Akwala’s leadership had been marred by extortion and conflict, and that following the change in government, he and others no longer recognised his authority.
According to Nana Yaw, the disagreement led Akwala to mobilise his men to attack him and his group, despite their attempt to seek refuge at the police station.

However, Akwala refuted these claims, insisting that he and his team were at their mining site when Nana Yaw’s group, led by an individual named Kapaala, stormed the area.
He alleged that Kapaala’s men threatened to shoot their driver if he attempted to leave with some of their equipment, sparking a heated argument that escalated into violence outside the police station.
The police have since restored order and launched an investigation into the incident.
