A police operation targeting suspected drug peddlers at Dominase in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region turned violent on Thursday, resulting in the death of a civilian and injuries to three police officers.
The operation, carried out by officers of the Ghana Police Service, was part of efforts to dismantle a suspected drug trafficking network in the area.
However, the team reportedly met fierce resistance from individuals believed to be involved in the illicit trade.
During the confrontation, a civilian - alleged to be connected to the peddlers - was fatally wounded.
