The Ghana Police Service has arrested several suspects following a violent confrontation between two youth groups in Sankor, Winneba.
The suspects have since been arraigned and remanded into prison custody.
Incident Details and Police Response
The clash occurred on Sunday, stemming from an earlier dispute between the factions that had already been reported to the authorities.
