The Chief of Gyengyen, a community in the Krachi West Municipality of the Volta Region, has been shot by unknown assailants at his residence.
It is reported that the incident occurred on the night of Monday, June 13, 2022.
The area had lights out at the time of the incident.
In an interview on Angel FM’s Anopa Bofoↄ Morning Show, on Tuesday, June 14, the Oti Regional Minister, Joshua Makubu confirmed that the chief was shot.
He noted that Nana Quansah Kpebu II was initially rushed to the Krachi West Municipal Hospital for treatment but was transferred later to the 37 Military Hospital in Accra.
Narrating the incident, he said that the chief was returning home after accompanying a guest who paid a visit to him.
Sources say he was hit by a bullet in his groin and would require a secondary medical treatment.
The Krachi West Police Command has since deployed police personnel to the town to maintain order and ensure calm.
