One person has been shot dead in an alleged clash between a group of military men and some youth of Nyinahini in the Ashanti Region.
Five others have sustained injuries.
Joy News sources say the soldiers were travelling on the route when they spotted people in military camouflage among some mourners on their way to a burial.
According to an eyewitness, Rev. Francis Nyamekye, the officers confronted the youth for the use of camouflage attire, resulting in a clash.
The military allegedly shot into the crowd, resulting in the death and injuries recorded.
"One person died at the spot, and the other five victims were rushed to the Nyinahin Government Hospital, and another person has been transferred to Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital," he said.
The community has been thrown into a state of fear. Neither the police nor the military has commented yet on the incident, although unconfirmed reports suggest that the deceased and the other injured persons may have been involved in an illegal activity.
