A violent confrontation between rival groups over property ownership in Dawhenya has left two individuals with gunshot injuries. According to an Adom Online report, the incident occurred during a dispute involving alleged landguards who were hired to protect a contested piece of land within the Ningo Prampram District.
The Ghana Police Service responded to the scene to restore order and prevent further escalation of the conflict. A report by Citi Newsroom indicates that the injured individuals were rushed to a nearby medical facility for treatment. Officers have since intensified patrols in the area to deter any further reprisal attacks from the opposing factions.
Police investigators are currently working to identify the individuals who discharged firearms during the melee. As reported by GhanaWeb, several residents expressed concern over the rising activities of landguards in the Dawhenya enclave. The authorities have not yet published the names of the victims or the specific entities involved in the ownership dispute.
The Accra Regional Police Command is expected to provide further updates on the status of the investigation and any potential arrests. Officials have urged members of the public to settle land disputes through the appropriate legal channels and the Lands Commission rather than resorting to violence or the use of illegal private security details.
