Investigations are still underway to determine circumstances surrounding the shooting

Taifa shooting started over a woman - Police
Thursday’s violence at Taifa Burkina which
claimed two lives started as a quarrel over a
woman, police have said.

One person was shot dead and the other butchered
by an angry mob.

Madina District Police Crime Officer
Superintendent Oppong, speaking to Class News’
Desmond Kofi Decker, revealed: “Two people were
arguing over a lady and then one used the bottle
to hit the other.

The one who was hit got infuriated. Because the
other had his accomplices there, he couldn’t
fight them. He went to his house, brought a pump
action gun and started a confrontation with one of
those who attacked him.

In the process a mob charged on him, he gave a
warning shot, went to a friend’s house where he
was hiding. The mob decided to charge on the house
and he fired through the trap door.

Meanwhile, twenty-three residents of Taifa-Burkina
have been rounded up by police in connection with
the shooting.

Investigations continue.
