Krobo residents

At least six persons have allegedly been shot by the military personnel assisting the ECG personnel on Monday, August 22, 2022.

Reports stated that the soldiers allegedly shot into a crowd that was massing up around the team undertaking the disconnection, resulting in the injuries.

It is, however, unclear what brought about the renewed clash.

Some residents at Nuaso Old Town alleged that they have been flogged by some of the soldiers on duty with the ECG.

A resident called Theresa Laweh said: “I was cooking when they came around, they asked me to get inside, I refused, then they began beating me.”

A farmer called Christian Tetteh also said “We are lost for words to what is happening. I just returned from the bush. They just beat us mercilessly and took away my cutlass. I have reported to the police and taken medical forms, this is bad.”

Meanwhile. the Assemblyman for the Nuaso Old Town Electoral Area, Samuel Torgbor, condemned the attack and said he was not informed of the exercise prior to the team’s arrival.

“We were not aware the ECG and military would be coming to our community today. No one has spoken to us. They can’t just come and be doing things because they have power and military,” he angrily said.

The Government of South Korea during the discussions, pledged to support government’s Ghana Beyond Aid Agenda and the West African Nation’s 10-point Industrial Transformation Agenda. Both nations pledged to further deepen their relationship, and to partner in addressing global issues, including terrorism threats, maritime situation in West Africa, hunger, the Korean crisis, and economic transformation and trade.
