Residents of Manso Nyankomase in the Amansie South District of the Ashanti region have hit the principal streets of the community to demonstrate against alleged frequent brutalities by the military.
They are calling on the government and the District Chief Executive to intervene before it escalates any further.
The demonstrators marched from the Nyankomase community to present their petition to the District Chief Executive of Amansie South to forward it to President John Dramani Mahama.
According to the residents, an unknown company has arrived in the community ostensibly to reclaim devastated lands without consulting the community authorities.
In the course of preventing the alleged private company, a clash ensued between the soldiers guarding the company and the community, leading to the injury of five people.
In a demonstration, the residents are asking the government to get the company to explain their activity in the community.
They also want the soldiers out of the community.
