Gun shots at Kasoa Opeikuma, 3 injured, cars vandalised

Three persons have sustained gunshot and machete wounds while three vehicles have been vandalized after some unknown men numbering about 18 on motorbikes stormed the Kasoa Opeikuma chief’s palace.

Chief of Opeikuma-Kumbe, Nana Oko Booban Kwaa Otanyi revealed that he and his elders were in the palace performing rituals for the newly installed Benkumhene of the town when the hoodlums stormed the place.

He said properties worth thousands of cedis have been destroyed in the attack which is a result of a chieftaincy dispute.

Residents of Opeikuma-Kumbe electoral area who have been left in a state of fear after the attack have called on the IGP to beef up security in the area as this is not the first time such an incident has occurred in the area.
