Three young men, wielding machetes in a viral video arrested

Solomon Brako Kusi, the Birim Central Municipal Chief Executive, has confirmed the arrest of the three young men wielding machetes in a viral video.

According to the MCE, one individual has been arrested in connection with the violent clash involving three machete-wielding illegal miners at Akim Oda.

He also disclosed that the two other individuals, who sustained varying degrees of injuries during the incident, are currently receiving treatment in the hospital under heavy police guard.

He further expressed his appreciation to the Akyem Oda Divisional Police Command for their swift and timely response following reports of the incident.

A Police press release issued on May 6, 2026, by DSP David Fianko-Okyere stated, “Suspect George Okyere, age 30 with a deep cut on his forehead and his right finger chopped off was met at the emergency ward of the Oda Jubilee Hospital while suspect Paul Pascalele was met at the Akyem Oda Government Hospital emergency ward with a deep cut on the right hand receiving treatment.

“Meanwhile, suspect Evans Adayele was arrested in his hideout to assist in investigation. Efforts are underway to arrest other suspects for further investigations and prosecution,” part of the police statement said.

It will be recalled that a violent clash between three young men has surfaced on social media.

Reports suggest the violent scene occurred between three young men at the Akim Oda Main Station in the Birim Central Municipality of the Eastern Region.

In the viral video, two of the machete-wielding unidentified individuals are seen attacking another man.

It is yet to be established what caused the violent clash between three young men. 

In the viral video shared on X by SIKAOFFICIAL, he wrote, “Viewer Discretion Is Advised⚠️

Disturbing videos have surfaced of a violent clash between three young men at the Akim Oda Main Station in the Birim Central Municipality of the Eastern Region.

In a widely circulated video, two of the machete-wielding unidentified individuals are seen attacking another man whilst residents look on in shock”.

The viral video has caused a stir on social media with X reacting, saying, “They can kill themself I don’t care about those three so far. The entire community is not involved, the three can go ahead and kill each other. Uncivilised people”.

A netizen added, “The guy no wan kill the boy as he kill am the time he fall first … he just use the side lash am… Now dem Dey chase am to kill am… Lessons learnt.. if you no kii dem go kii you”.

One X user added, “Mboasem! If you have a family to provide for, all you will worry is your work God and won’t be caught in such folly! To all my fellow men, be wise in your youth!”.

“Conflict resolution should be a widely taught skill and concept.

Violence is never the answer.

In moments of anger, we don’t reason.

If anyone had been killed, the rest would spend the rest of their lives in jail.

Your emotions will explain your actions, but they won’t excuse it”, a netizen added.

One X user added, “So so fooling nkoaa for the street. Things wey animals dey shock if them see

Who Dey shout awurade for there nu? Make He forget my prayers come separate mad men?”

“To be doing this in the full glare of the public in itself indicates one thing: no fear of community leaders and a lack of respect for the sensibilities of the general public. If they don’t care about their personal lives, what about the others that are being forced to witness it, including possibly children that might pass by? These guys have got to be arrested and locked up for a long while”,  a netizen added.
