Muslims sects clash at Ejura
Mampong (Ash), April 10, GNA - Members and supporters of
Tijania and Al -Sunna Muslim sects at Ejura in Ashanti on
Sunday night clashed over religious differences.
But for the swift and timely intervention of the Police, the
outcome would have been disastrous on Easter Sunday.
Police Chief Superintendent Augustine Gyeening, Divisional
Police Commander of Asante-Mampong in the Sekyere West
District, who disclosed this to newsmen said there were
gunshots.
He said six out of the 10 people who were injured were
treated and discharged at the Ejura Hospital, while the rest
remained on admission.
The Divisional Commander said no arrests had been made so
far but that police had received some names and were making
investigations to unravel the perpetrators.
He said the incident occurred when the Tijanis allegedly
attacked the Sunnis, who had mounted a platform and were
preaching the Muslim faith.
