Two persons shot, 6 injured by 'military' in Ayawaso by-election

Unconfirmed report from Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency by-election has it that two persons believed to be sympathizers of the opposition National Democratic Congress have been shot. Though reports have it that one person is dead, WatchGhana.Com is yet to confirm.

This follows an alleged clash between some 'military personnel' and supporters of the NDC at Bawaleshie. The soldiers who are fully armed and wearing face masks allegedly descended heavily on some supporters of the NDC for misbehavior. Several robber bullets were fired. 

The 'military' wearing black and wielding assault riffles claimed they were needlessly attacked verbally and physically by some NDC supporters and they replied them with some ‘minimum’ force. 

Some of the affected persons are said to have been rushed to hospital. The incident interrupted voting for some minutes as security personnel tried to prevent more people from trooping in to the scene.

There are reports of series of confrontations at the various polling stations between security persons and some supporters of the various candidates.

This incidence contradicts the earlier statement by the Police to ensure adequate security in the constituency. Some are alleging that those men in black dresses are not military but vigilante group members. Others also claim they are from National Security.
