The Ghana Police Service is investigating a shooting incident that occurred during political campaign activities in the Agona West Constituency of the Central Region on Sunday, October 27, 2024.
Four individuals sustained injuries during the incident, with two treated and discharged, while the remaining two are still receiving medical care.
In a statement, the police said they "have been actively working on the case throughout Sunday night when the incident happened and are closing in on the perpetrator to get him arrested to face justice."
The incident occurred when supporters of the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Agona West, Cynthia Mamle Morrison clashed with those of the NPP’s parliamentary candidate for the constituency, Chris Arthur, while both camps were campaigning in the area.
However, Madam Morrison has denied any involvement in the recent shooting incident in Agona Swedru.
Cynthia Morrison stated, “I must be very frank with you, I did not hear the gunshot.”
“After the shooting incident, I called all the boys I work with and asked them who had a gun. They said they didn’t have one. We all attended a wedding before the programme, so how could we carry a gun when going to an event like this?” she quizzed.
She added that she could not determine whether the incident was an attempted assassination on her life.
