“7 persons have been arrested. 5 are presently here with us, and the other two are on admission at the Police hospital,” the police told the media at the Police Headquarters.
According to Director-General of Police Public Affairs, ACP Kwesi Ofori, “the violence spread across some sections of Nima and we managed to stabilise the situation.”
For now, it remains unclear what necessitated the violence among the youth, but according to some Twitter posts, the fight was over a shisha.
The police however assured that they are actively working to clamp down on all miscreants in the area while investigations unfold.
