20 November, Dambai (O/R), GNA - At the farming community of Borae Ahenfie in the Krachi Nchumuru District of the Oti Region, Nana Meebo, the Chief of Borae Ahenfie, and two other people are said to have been shot dead by unidentified assailants.
The police are working with 14 people who have been detained in relation to the gunshot event to further their investigations.
The District Chief Executive (DCE), who also serves as the Chairman of the District Security Committee (DISEC), Mr. Nkrumah Kwasi Ogyile, confirmed the incident to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) and claimed that the attackers ambushed and shot the chief and the two victims to death.
