Three people have sustained serious injuries following a violent clash between two Muslim youth groups during an Eid-ul-Fitr street carnival at Kasoa in the Awutu Senya East Municipality of the Central Region.
The victims are currently receiving treatment at the Kasoa Polyclinic.
Reports indicate that the altercation, which occurred on Monday evening, stemmed from unresolved tensions between the two groups.
In an interview with Adom News, an eyewitness, Mohamed Osman revealed that the groups had disputes before the fasting period.
According to Osman, there were rumors three days before the carnival about a possible confrontation, prompting elders to intervene and urge restraint.
However, one of the groups disregarded the elders’ advice and instigated chaos during the event.
One person has since been arrested in connection with the violence and currently being detained at Kasoa Central Business District CBD Police Command.
Upon his arrest, the Police retrieved hammer and other offensive weapons from him.
