Gomoa Central Member of Parliament, Kwame Asare Obeng, known as A-Plus, narrowly avoided an attack from furious New Winneba locals after a violent incident in their community. He made his way to the Effutu North District Police Command to gather firsthand details about the incident, which resulted in three fatalities and 15 injuries.
The unrest followed a land dispute that involved residents from multiple Gomoa and New Winneba communities. A-Plus had gone to the police station to assess the circumstances of the brawl and interact with officials regarding the matter. Yet, his presence apparently enraged some residents who had congregated at the police command.
The outraged residents confronted the MP, forcing security forces to swiftly intervene and escort him away from the area to avert a potential escalation. To ensure A-Plus's safety and maintain order at the scene, the Central Regional Police Command and other law enforcement officers were dispatched. Some locals who spoke to Adom News expressed their fury over the incident's circumstances and highlighted the continued tensions in the region.
The situation remains volatile as security agencies endeavor to thwart additional confrontations and restore tranquility in New Winneba.
