Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A-Plus, the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central has alleged that one of the the Minority Leader and Effutu Member of Parliament Alexander Afenyo-Markin boys shot and killed one of the three people who died in the Gomoa-New Winneba clash.
Speaking on CITI eyewitness news, Kwame A Plus alleged, saying, “One of Afenyo-Markin’s boys shot and killed one boy who was about 1km away from where the issue was happening. He knows him; call him and ask him if I am lying.
I will send you a picture of him; everywhere he goes, he follows him. Me, my boys when they misbehave, I sack them. He is the minority leader; he cannot be harbouring these boys around him. If nobody can advise Afenyo-Markin, he is my childhood friend; I will tell him in his face”.
You can not keep these people around you as the minority leader and expect me to make peace and be laughing; it is not going to happen. The three people who were killed are all Gomoa people. One of his boys shot and killed Abeiku”.
He further alleged that police officers killed two people and injured 19 during the violent clash between residents of Gomoa Oguaakrom and New Winneba in the Central Region.
According to A-Plus, the police arrived at the scene with live ammunition and opened fire on residents.
Kwame A-Plus further alleged that one of the victims was shot dead about two kilometres from the main scene of the confrontation.
He added, “The police came there, shot and injured 19 people, and killed two. Where did the police come from? They got a call from somewhere, and I suspect that it was a higher authority. They were given express orders. They were killed by police”.
“One person even died about two kilometres away. These guys moved a motorbike, went there, saw the guy. Many people were standing there. He saw him; he called him; he said, ‘Don’t come close to me.’ When the guy moved, he just shot him in public. Shot and killed him there, point-blank. He has not been arrested,” he alleged.
He further added, “The police stated that the Gomoa people came with guns. Where is the evidence? Where is the evidence? Do you have any evidence to support that claim that Gomoa people came with guns to attack anybody?” he asked.
“When people went to police headquarters to attack and beat, physically attack a suspect at the police headquarters, what did the police do? The police couldn’t do anything,” he alleged.
“If somebody can go to the police headquarters, attack a suspect, beat him in the presence of police at the police headquarters, and the next day, the only thing they did was peace,” he said.
Meanwhile, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader and Effutu Member of Parliament, has broken his silence following the deadly violence in New Winneba that claimed the lives of three individuals and injured multiple.
The minority leader called on the police and other security agencies to swiftly investigate the deadly violence.
Afenyo-Markin quizzed how a group of youths armed with guns, machetes and clubs could mobilise and enter New Winneba in broad daylight without attracting the attention of security personnel.
Speaking on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News, Afenyo-Markin stated, “My word to the Police, and I speak directly to the divisional commander. ACP, divisional commander, please. I have always told you to be firm. Please be firm and keep the peace”.
“This was not done in the night. It’s broad daylight, morning, walking, and chanting one song to another community,” he said.
He further questioned the level of security intelligence available ahead of the incident.
“What did they do? What were their early warnings? These are quite disturbing,” he said.
“If indeed the Regional Command, assisted by the headquarters of Ghana Police, join forces and they get into the community day and night, within a week, I am very positive that they will get to know all those behind,” he said.
“Nobody should take the law into his own hands or hers and plan any revenge,” he said.
However, the Police announced that three people have been confirmed dead and about 15 others injured following violent clashes in New Winneba.
According to the Police, the Tuesday, September 1, 2026 incident stems from 300 armed people with guns, stones, cutlasses and sticks from Gomoa Oguakrom, Gomoa Yenkuadze and Gomoa Pomadze who stormed New Winneba Township at about 10:40 a.m.
The armed men allegedly attacked residents and vandalised shops, stores and other properties belonging to residents of the community.
The Police disclosed that the injured, including a police officer, have been taken to the Trauma and Specialist Hospital in Winneba for treatment.
