NDC, NPP supporters clash at Asokore; 5 injured

Supporters of the ruling NDC and main opposition New Patriotic Party who were on a separate health walk Sunday clashed in the New Juaben Municipality leading to the injury of five, Starr News’ Kojo Ansah has reported from Koforidua.

Vehicles were also smarshed in the chaos while firearms were shot by the Police to separate the feuding supporters.

Five people who sustained severe injuries were rushed to the St. Joseph hospital for treatment.

It is unclear what triggered the exchanges.

The New  Juaben municipal police commander Sup. Richardson kumekor who went to the scene ordered the leaders of the supporters to ask their members to stop the walk and go home immediately.

The development comes on the back of a similar clash between NDC members and the security detail of Nana Akufo-Addo in front of his Nima residence last week where gunshots were also fired.
