A violent clash between two rival groups of small-scale miners at the Akrokerri Police Station in Adansi North has left two people injured.

The confrontation erupted over a leadership dispute concerning small-scale mining operations in the area.

Speaking to Adom News, Nana Osei Yaw, a mining site owner, accused Christian Twumasi, popularly known as Akwala, of mismanaging small-scale mining regulations.

He claimed that Akwala's leadership had been marred by extortion and conflict, and that following the change in government, he and others no longer recognised his authority.
