The Ghana Police Service has confirmed that two persons have died after some youth groups clashed in Nsawam Adoagyiri in the Eastern Region.
The police in a statement issued on May 23, 2025 explained that investigations have indicated that on May 20, 2025 a shooting incident occurred at Adoagyiri which resulted in the death of one person and injuries to one other person.
Police say this caused a reprisal attack from some youth groups in the vicinity where the youth numbering about 300 blocked the road, burnt tyres and vandalized some shops and vehicles within the vicinity.
The reprisal attack by the youth groups resulted in injuries to three other people who were sent to the hospital for medical attention.
However, one of the victims, Isaah Masawudu died at the hospital. Following his death, the youth of Adoagyiri Zongo went on rampage leading to the disturbances.
A re-enforcement team from the National Police Headquarters and the National Formed Police Unit were deployed to the location and successfully brought the situation under control.
Police say efforts are ongoing to get all those involved arrested to face the full rigors of the law.
“We would like to urge everyone to remain calm as we continue to ensure law and order at Adoagyiri and the surrounding communities,” the statement added.
