Nine persons have been\u00a0reported dead at Dwerebeafe, Aboyan and Mpeamu in the Kwahu East District, following clashes between Fulani herdsmen and some Kwahu farmers.<\/p>\n
A farmer and a 12-year-old boy, are currently on admission at the Kwahu Government Hospital with gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”tnhhWoBwgoZp2F9OiUWgqFFL8G3rzwzu”]The bodies of the dead have\u00a0been deposited at the hospital\u2019s mortuary at Atibie for autopsy.<\/p>\n
The Member of Parliament for the Abetifi Constituency, Bryan Acheampong, disclosed this when he addressed an emergency meeting of the Kwahu East District Assembly.<\/p>\n
He said there had been series of meetings and consultations between the chiefs, cattle owners, security personnel and the Fulani herdsmen, to find a solution to the conflict between the factions but to no avail.<\/p>\n
He therefore advised the cattle owners to send their cattle to the fodder Banks in the Afram Plains, to ensure peace in the area.<\/p>\n
The MP, who is also a Minister of State in-charge of National Security, said police re-enforcement has been sent there to support the local security personnel to maintain law and order in the various communities.<\/p>\n
According to Mr. Solomon Aboagye, the Assembly Member for the Hwehwee Electoral Area, he had a telephone call three days ago from Mpeam near Hweehwee that the two brothers failed to return from their farms that day, and urged the youth in the village to organise a search party to look for them the following day.<\/p>\n
He said the youth went to their farm and found their bodies in a pool of blood with gunshot wounds, and later informed the police who went with them to convey the bodies to the Kwahu Government Hospital at Attibie.<\/p>\n
