Isaac Adjei Boateng leader of the Patriotic Youth of Bomaa said there was a huge security presence in the area before the incident. According to him, they thought everything was fine until they learned of the shooting.
The security presence in the area was huge, so we thought that everything was under control. So it came as a surprise to hear of the killings.
This is very unfortunate that we are experiencing this at this hour of the day. Last night, we had an unfortunate incident of a youth that was gunned down as a result of what is going on. And the crux of what is going on is the allegation that the Dormaaahene is trying to enstool a chief in Bomaa and this is what has led to all these.
Isaac Agyei also advised the youth in the area to exercise restraint and calm. Chieftaincy Dispute ends when the two families involved smoke a peace pipe.
We appeal to the youth to allow peace to prevail because there are laws in Ghana, and we don’t want anyone to take the law into their own hands and do what they don’t have to do. His final words.
