The three, whose names have been withheld, shot several times at seven men, including officials of the Chief of the area, Nana Yaw Kumedi II, and three surveyors who had been sent by the Chief to the Twidan Royal family land situated at Essien.

Three of the victims, Addo, Tetteh and Kwasi Kakraba, sustained various degrees of bullet injury, and have been admitted at the Winneba Trauma and Specialist Hospital for treatment.

A police source explained that, on Friday morning,  the seven men were returning from the royal land after an official assignment there ordered by the Chief.

He said on their way back, twenty men on motorbikes, believed to be land guards, armed with AK 47 assault rifles and pump action guns, attacked them and fired at them indiscriminately.

When police arrived at the scene, the assailants had escaped, but three of them were later arrested for their alleged involvement in the attack.

The police collected from the scene nineteen empty shells of AK 47 assault rifles, and eight shells off BB cartridges which will be used in their investigations.

Calm has since been restored in the area.

The Chief Executive Officer of the NHIA disclosed this during a visit to some NHIA registration centres in the Greater Accra and Central Regions.

Some of the schemes or registration centres visited include Kpeshie Scheme, La Scheme, Adenta Scheme, and Ablekuma Sub Metro Scheme among others.

Hundreds of subscribers had queued to either register or renew their cards.

All the managers at various registration centres blamed the slow pace of the registration on connectivity challenges.

Speaking to Citi News after the visit, Mr. Mensah said “we have challenges regarding downtime and connectivity. As a result of the rains last night, connectivity is a little poor and it has slowed down the registration process. We have been trying to explain this to some of our subscribers.”

He therefore assured the general public that measures will be put in place to improve connectivity and “ensure faster registration”.

After the monitoring the registration process at various centres, Mr. Mensah said “technically I think that the exercise is going on as planned.”

He however acknowledged the challenges also arising from the increasing numbers at the registration centers.

In that regard, he advised subscribers who had registered earlier to avoid registering again.

“The whole idea is that if you have registered, you don’t need to come to the registration centre. Just use your card and when it’s about to expire, perhaps two weeks to the expiry date of your card ,you could come to the centre and register, ” he advised.
