“Police presence has since been intensified in both communities, while investigations have commenced to identify and arrest all persons involved. The Police urge residents to remain calm and cooperate with ongoing investigations as efforts continue to maintain peace and security in the affected communities,” it said in a statement issued on April 10, 2026.
According to the statement, the Regional Commander, DCOP Arthur Osei-Akoto, along with his Deputy and other senior officers from the Regional Command, have visited the two communities to engage the chiefs, elders, and youth leaders.
Police preliminary investigations said the violence was triggered by a dispute involving a young man from Asisiriwa who was allegedly cohabiting with a young woman from Brodekwano without the consent of her family.
Police further urged residents of the communities to remain calm as efforts are ongoing to maintain peace and stability.
