Two injured in shooting incident at Anloga

Aflao, May 3, GNA - Two young people are on admission at the Keta Hospital after they had been injured in a shooting incident at Anloga early Saturday, eyewitness reports, corroborated by the Municipal Chief Executive have said. The reports said a 17-year-old girl, Awenam Agboada, was hit in the right ribs while Eli Tagbor, a young boy, was hit in the left arm. It said the police have picked up four people, Walter Dzatagbo, 45, Mawuli Seglah, 33, Amartey Addo, 28 and Klutse Borlugui, 34 for questioning.

An eyewitness told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on telephone that at around 0730 hours, one Eda Sofahu, pursued a young man who ran into a house. The eyewitness said Sofahu invited others who joined him and started shooting indiscriminately ostensibly to flush the boy out of the house. The witness said another group which had perceived those firing to be rivals, also mobilized to counter what they considered, the nuisance of that faction.

However, the police arrived in time to quell any serious confrontation and were guarding the area. The Police Divisional Command confirmed the incident but declined to give details. Mr Kofi Ahiabor, Keta Municipal chief Executive also confirmed the incident, adding that the police were in firm control of the situation.
