One person has died with two others injured in a clash between the youth of Pankrono and Adabraka Zongo in the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The clash is a reprisal of an incident that led to the death of one person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There had been simmering tension between the youth in both communities since the killing of one during a clash in a community football tournament two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In what is suspected to be revenge, one person was allegedly stabbed to death on Wednesday, October 18 after another tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Owusu Banahene, aged 27, died upon arrival at the hospital after he was found lying close to a public toilet in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Thursday, October 19, the youth of Pankrono attempted a reprisal on the alleged murder of a resident identified as Bernard Owusu by the Adabraka Zongo youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two people sustained injuries before the intervention of the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The father of the deceased, Mathew Donkor, expressed worry about the growing conflict between the two communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an interview with Joy News<\/strong>, he called for the imposition of a curfew in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Assembly member for the area, Ernest Owusu has assured the Tafo Municipal Assembly will ensure calm in the communities as the police investigate the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, the police have arrested two persons in connection with Banahene\u2019s death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One person has died with two others injured in a clash between the youth of Pankrono and Adabraka Zongo in the Ashanti Region.
