CCTV clips emerge of gruesome palace attack at Enchi

CCTV clips have emerged barely a day after the Ghana Police Service began investigations into some violent clashes between some feuding chieftaincy factions in Enchi, in the Western North Region.

An earlier report stated that the clashes had led to the deaths of four people by suspected attackers who besieged the palace of the chief.

The men are believed to have invaded the palace to attack the Paramount Chief of Enchi, Beyeeman Tano Kwao Benbuin II.

In the video clips shared by JoyNews, the men were seen walking around the community, some of them wielding machetes, guns, and knives, in the early hours of Sunday, November 6, 2022.

The police have since restored calm to the community and have announced a full-scale investigation into what happened in the town of Enchi.
