A chaotic scene erupted in Tepa, Ashanti Region, yesterday, December 9, 2024, as gunshots rang out, leaving multiple people injured and rushed to the hospital.
Eyewitnesses allege that the violence was orchestrated by thugs suspected to be sympathisers of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), dissatisfied with the parliamentary election results in the area.
One victim, speaking anonymously, recounted the harrowing events to OTEC News Reporter Kwame Agyenim Boateng. "The office of the Electoral Commission was set ablaze during the chaos," the victim revealed. "The thugs took over the community with guns for several hours, forcing residents to hide in their rooms," they added.
Despite the presence of security officials in the community, many residents continue to fear for their lives.
