Three people have sustained severe injuries following a violent clash between two Muslim youth groups during an Eid-ul-Fitr street carnival at Kasoa in the Awutu Senya East Municipality of the Central Region.
The victims are currently receiving treatment at the Kasoa Polyclinic.
Reports indicate that the altercation, which occurred on Monday evening, stemmed from unresolved tensions between the two groups.
In an interview with Adom News, an eyewitness, Mohamed Osman revealed that the groups had disputes before the fasting period.
According to Osman, rumours about a possible confrontation three days before the carnival prompted elders to intervene and urge restraint.
However, one of the groups disregarded the elders’ advice and instigated chaos during the event.
One person has since been arrested in connection with the violence and is currently being detained at the Kasoa Central Business District Police station.
Upon his arrest, the Police retrieved a hammer and other offensive weapons from him.
