Six people, including a baby, have been injured by stray bullets in Kwabenakwa, situated in the Obuasi East District of the Ashanti Region.
This unfortunate incident occurred after a family member involved in a chieftaincy conflict reportedly discharged a firearm in celebration following a court decision that favoured his side.
According to eyewitnesses, the suspect, known as Kofi Cole, gathered some relatives and took a tricycle to celebrate the verdict, during which celebratory gunfire was discharged.
Stray bullets from this shooting struck six individuals, including a toddler.
