There have been sporadic gunshots in Kokrobite yesterday when factions clash over the installation of one Moses Arde as Dzaasetse.
The said installation was being done despite the lockdown directive by the President in respect of the Covid19 pandemic.
Although the Kokrobite is part of areas observing the lockdown protocols, Nii Ofei, according to information led gangs of land guards into the community to carry out the said installation.
Information received from the community indicates that the purported installation of the said Moses Ardey was being held in view of the demise of the late Dzaasetse, Nii Ansah Arde II.
Meanwhile, it emerged that Moses Ardey has no capacity to occupy the position hence the resistance from the legitimate Kingmakers.
Things turned sour when land guards led by one Nii Ofei, who was doing the installation, attacked persons who were trying to stop the ceremony.
The land guards, according to eyewitnesses, fired gunshots at people in an attempt to ensure that the installation ceremony continues.
The situation has brewed severe tension, fear and panic in Kokrobite community as residents said the conduct of the land guards was so brutal that many people sustained severe injuries.
It also emerged that although the police were at the scene to ensure calm and bring the situation under control, prior to the installation, Nii Ofei and his languards claimed they had finished with the Kokrobite District Police and the Weija Divisional Commanders, hence they are indispensable and cannot be arrested.
Residents said the attackers who were seen firing gunshots at the victims are true to their words, walking freely without any arrest.
They, however, called on the police to ensure the arrest of those land guards since their continuous stay in the community is an affront to peace and security.
