The Member of Parliament for the Effutu Constituency and Minority Leader in Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, and the Gomoa Central MP, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A-Plus, have called on their constituents to remain calm and allow peace to prevail following violent clashes between residents of Gomoa Oguaakrom and New Winneba over a land dispute.
In a viral video shared on X, the two MPs were captured in a video calling on their respective constituent to allow peace to prevail following violent clashes.
Afenyo-Markin, speaking in the video, expressed concern over the tensions and assured residents that steps were being taken to restore peace.
He stated, “Fellow residents of Gomoa and Effutu, we have all heard about the recent clashes between our communities. My colleague and I wish to assure you, as Members of Parliament, that we are deeply concerned and committed to restoring peace.”
“…We urge everyone to remain calm. On Saturday, we will visit the affected communities to engage with you directly and understand the root of the problem. We must not allow such incidents to happen again,” Afenyo-Markin stated.
On the other hand, A Plus assured residents that measures had already been taken to restore calm.
The Gomoa Central MP warned that those responsible for terrorising residents would be dealt with decisively.
A-Plus stated, “Measures have already been put in place to restore calm between Gomoa and Effutu, and we will deal decisively with any group of individuals terrorising others in the area. I am fully committed to this effort, and together, we will ensure peace prevails. Let there be peace among us”.
Meanwhile, A Plus had earlier alleged that one of the Minority Leader and Effutu Member of Parliament Alexander Afenyo-Markin’s 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.
