Police personnel at the scene of the shooting

Taifa shooting: 23 suspects arrested
Twenty-three residents of Taifa-Burkina have been
rounded up by police in connection with
Thursday’s shooting that claimed two lives.

Conflicting information gathered points to a gun
fight between two gangs while others said the
violence was over a woman.

The police are yet to state the real cause of the
incident. However, one of the victims was shot
dead while the other was butchered by a mob.


An eyewitness, who only gave his name as Ben, told
Accra News’ Ama Brako Ampofo that he saw a mob
chasing after two men, one of whom was holding a
pump action gun.

According to him, the one with the gun entered a
house but turned his gun on a guy who followed
him, killing him instantly.


A mob, realising the assailant had shot and killed
someone, turned on him and butchered him.

Class News’ Desmond Kofi Decker reports that
police have also arrested a rasta man who they
suspect played a role in the disturbances.
