One dead, 4 injured in police-youth clash at Kenyase No. 2 in Ahafo Region

The Minister has been visiting victims of the clash and assuring them of government’s resolve to maintain peace, and to find those culpable.

Last Tuesday, there was a bloody clash between the youth of Kenyase Number 2 and some police personnel.

Several sources disclosed to Luv FM’s Erastus Asare Donkor that the personnel from the Formed Police Unit and Counter-Terrorism Unit stationed with the Newmont Company had an altercation with a motor rider during which one person was gunned down.

His death sparked a revolt by the youth, leading to four more people being shot. The youth then besieged a bridge between Kenyase No.2 and Ntotroso road in protest.
