The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Effutu, Rev. Atta Mensah, has demanded a transparent police investigation into a violent clash between residents of Gomoa and New Winneba. The clash reportedly resulted in three deaths and 17 injuries, with over 300 youths involved and some armed with dangerous weapons. Mensah held that the incident was possibly due to a land dispute and called for a joint meeting between the Municipal and District Security Councils to address the issue.
He emphasized the need for an independent and impartial investigation, condemning the violence unequivocally. Effutu and Gomoa residents have traditionally enjoyed peaceful relations, but the MCE urged all parties to maintain peace and calm. Authorities have deployed reinforcements from nearby regions to help restore order, and additional personnel are being sent from Accra.
Mensah met with the MCE for Gomoa Central to explore possible solutions and ensure amicable resolution.
