Wassa Akropong in the Western Region is in an unsettling calm after clashes between villagers and police over an alleged shooting.

The locals let out their rage at what they saw as police officers using excessive force while performing their duties.

One person is said to have been shot during the brawl, which infuriated the already-agitated townspeople even more.

At the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, the victim, who has not yet been named, is fighting for his life.

The angry youth’s takeover of the streets to confront the police about their rambo-style methods was captured on camera.

Authorities are currently attempting to restore calm while the circumstances surrounding the shooting are still under investigation.
