The incident happened on the evening of Friday, April 12, 2024, during this year's Kplejoo festival, when the youth engaged in a street procession.

Tension escalated upon reaching the street in front of the Eastern Naval Command, leading to a confrontation between the youth and the navy ratings on duty. Allegedly, a vehicle belonging to the Navy was damaged by some individuals within the crowd.

Amidst the ensuing chaos, two individuals succumbed to gunshot wounds.

Their bodies have been transferred to the Tema General Hospital Mortuary.
