The Ashanti Regional Police Command says it has launched a probe into circumstances surrounding the violent clash between youth of Ejura in the Ashanti Region and security personnel that has led to the death of two persons and injuring four.
A statement by the Ashanti Police Command indicated that following the burial of Ibrahim Mohammed aka Kaaka who was murdered last week, at Mempeasem Cemetary of Ejura on Tuesday, some irate youth blocked the main Ejura Atebubu road thereby impeding traffic.

“The Police moved in with military reinforcement to quell the situation but the irate youth charged on the security officers with all manner of implements including firearms, clubs, machetes and stones.”
“The security officials fired shots to disperse the angry mob who failed to retreat but rather massed up at all corners. The death and injuries were recorded in the process,” the police statement said.
The police stated that the security situation at 3:30 pm was tense but indicated reinforcement has been brought in to ensure total stability.
The Regional Command, the statement said, has taken over the investigation into the murder of Kaaka and appealed to all who have credible information to share with the Command.
