  "summary": "The Municipal Chief Executive of Effutu, Rev. Arthur Mensah, and the District Chief Executive for Gomoa Central, Hackman Aidoo, have called for calm following a deadly attack in New Winbe, Central Region. The incident resulted in three deaths and 19 injuries, allegedly caused by a group of about 300 people from four Gomoa communities. The attack extended to the Effutu North District Police Command, causing heightened tensions and fears of reprisals. Rev. Mensah, who visited the injured at Winneba Trauma and Specialist Hospital, assured the victims and their families that the municipal assembly would cover their medical expenses. He urged residents to cooperate with security agencies in restoring peace. Similarly, Gomoa Central DCE Hackman Aidoo stated that measures are being taken to prevent retaliatory attacks and maintain law and order. Both officials have deployed security personnel to the affected areas to ensure safety and prevent further violence.",
