Chiefs at Kukuom in the Asunafo South Constituency of the Ahafo Region have invoked curses on the perpetrators and sponsors of the violence that occurred at a registration centre last Saturday.
The incident left one person seriously injured during the ongoing limited registration exercise in the town.
At a press conference, the chiefs expressed concern, poured libations, and performed other rituals.
The Dwafohene, Nana Oteng Boateng described as unacceptable the violence perpetrated by gun-wielding thugs who are alleged not to come from the town.
The violent conduct, he said, is giving Kukuom a bad name, therefore they have summoned these individuals before their ancestors and all water bodies within the Kukuom enclave to deal with them mercilessly.
According to him, residents of Kukuom are peaceful, and for total strangers who tagged themselves as vigilantes to cause such commotion and tarnish the image of the town is worrisome.
For his part, the paramount chief of Kukuom, Osahene Kwaku Atakyi called on the Ghana Police Service to arrest all persons involved in the disturbances for the law to deal with them accordingly and to deter others.
