"The workers have warned that they may abandon their posts if adequate protection measures are not put in place", an X post by Caleb Qwofi Right on Thursday, January 15, 2026, stated.

One of the victims, Daniel, suffered severe cuts to his arm and was the first to seek urgent medical attention at the facility.

Shortly afterwards, Yaw Buabeng, bleeding heavily from injuries to his head and hand, also arrived at the centre for treatment.

As nursing staff began attending to Buabeng, a group of approximately ten young men, armed with machetes, sticks, and clubs, stormed the premises.
