A dispute over a parcel of land at Central Dzorwulu in Accra has left one person injured and at least a vehicle set ablaze.
The vehicle belonging to two suspects who organised some thugs to demolish a bedroom apartment is said to have run into a ditch in an attempt to escape from the police.
The suspects, Nana Owusu Banahene and James Quainoo, have been arrested for demolishing the four-bedroom apartment and attacking the occupants of the house.
“The Police responded to the scene to restore calm. Police later had information that one of the vehicles belonging to the suspects had run into a ditch and was attacked by a mob who pelted them with stones, injured one of the suspects, James Quainoo, and set his car ablaze,” the police in a Facebook post.
The injured suspect is at the hospital receiving medical attention, while efforts are underway to arrest all the other perpetrators to face justice.
So far, the police has confirmed that no person was shot during the incident.
However, “investigation continues and all available footages on the incident are being reviewed as part of the investigation process.”
Viral video
There is an amateur video showing individuals running away from a Black Toyota Land Cruiser v8 vehicle.
In the said video is a motionless man lying less than 20 metres from the vehicle which is on the left side of the road and has its left front part stuck in a gutter.
The motionless individual is seen bleeding from the head region and there is a slight move of his left hand at some point in the video.
The vehicle was burning and one person could be heard saying, “the person is not dead and I need an ambulance.”
The video posted mainly on Instagram comes with the caption, ‘shooting inident at Dzorwulu, driver shot.’
