Background
Three people were injured and properties destroyed in the clash between irate youth group from Agona Kwanyarko Zongo and Agona Fawomaye over a GH¢500 debt.
According to sources, Yaw Baah, a native of Agona Fawomaye bought a tree from Kofi Annan for GH¢900, not knowing another person in Kofi Annan’s family had also sold the same tree to another individual.
After some months, Yaw Baah approached Kofi Annan for his money and Kofi Annan paid GH¢400 out of the GH¢900, leaving a balance of GH¢500.
The group also destroyed television sets and some properties of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in the town and brutalized innocent people.
Residents of Agona Kwanyarko fear of a reprisal attack from the youth of the town.
