One person has been injured from gunshot wounds in renewed chieftaincy dispute ahead of the Homowo celebrations.
Also, several houses were burnt, including the Teshie Wulomo’s Palace displacing more than 50 persons in the area.
The secretary to the Osabu-Ayiku Wulomo, whose palace was torched, explained that there was a clash between two Teshie groups, the Mantse and Shikitele, after embarking on a fishing expedition to mark the harvesting of fish.
According to John Adjetey Kommey, there were gunshots that led to an individual being shot in the leg.
He alleged that the Mantse group proceeded to the family houses of the rival group and burnt two funeral parlours to the ground.
“On their way from the fishing expedition, the Mantse group started pelting stones against the other group, and they also retaliated with gunshots.
“Unfortunately, one person was shot in the leg. The Mantse group then proceeded to some of the family houses in the Tseiwe quarter.
"Two funeral parlours were burnt, and they proceeded to the family house, and they burnt that family house too,” he narrated.
Meanwhile, the police have arrested nine people following the disturbance.
