An eyewitness speaking with explained that the violence came about after the town decided to install a new chief, following the death of the former one. According to Nana Gyampo, the eyewitness, without any confrontation, when the new chief was being paraded through town, some unknown persons crossed them with pump-action guns and later followed them to the palace, where they shot one person dead.
"A chief was to be installed and so we came to participate and to support the new chief. After the traditional rites performed at home on Monday, today - Tuesday, the new chief was to be paraded through the town so the people could see him.
"On the way to town, when we got to a junction called Abinkyi Signboard, a white Pajero car with two people in it from nowhere crossed the chief's vehicle. We asked them where they were from because they nearly knocked somebody down but before we could say anything, the two men alighted holding pump-action guns and threatening us.
