The Member of Parliament (MP) for Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai, Alfred Obeng-Boateng has appealed to the Asante Gold Bibiani Limited to compensate victims of the clash between their security men and residents of Bibiani Zongo.
The clash occurred on Sunday, February 5, 2023.
The Chief of Bibiani Zongo, Nana Sulemani Minasara lll and his subjects who briefed the MP on what happened, said a group of men from the community was seen at a refuse dump belonging to the mining company collecting some scraps.
While at the site, the security men allegedly opened fire on the men injuring three in the process. Three other members of the community were also beaten mercilessly, injuring them in the process.
They were later rushed to the Bibiani Government and the Divine Love hospitals for treatment.
The MP consoled the victims and appealed for calm while promising to use appropriate channels to seek for compensation for the victims, and find an amicable solution to the impasse.
Mr Obeng-Boateng reminded them that plans were afoot to resettle the Bibiani Old Town and Zongo communities and urged them to be law-abiding.
He also called for the cooperation of the youth, chief, and the assembly member to accelerate development of the area.
He later visited the victims at the hospital and donated an undisclosed amount of money to them for their upkeep.
