On Monday, eight persons were admitted; two of them have already been released. One of the six was initially in critical condition but is now stable.
They suffered injuries to their shoulders and legs. “We cannot confirm that the wounds are caused by gunshots because we did not remove any bullets.” Dr Bosompem told the press.
The Hospital Administrator, Dr Bosompem is concerned that the unstable environment is unsafe for work.
“We had a difficult time resolving the matter on Monday, therefore we are requesting that it be resolved amicably. We struggled to gain entry because they had blocked the path, therefore we needed an X-Ray technician for the cases.”
“This is not a good look as the victims’ relatives claim that they were shot.”
On Tuesday morning, locals flocked to the St. Martin’s De Porres Hospital to inquire about the health of their relatives.
Comfort Tetteh, a relative lamented, “We don’t even have the money to care for my injured brother who was shot and on oxygen right now.”

There were two incidents on Monday. The first misunderstanding allegedly led to the troops beating the people of Nuaso Old Town.
Following resistance from the community, the military allegedly opened fire in the air when they returned to the area to take the transformers from Nuaso Old Town.
Although the neighbourhood of Nuaso Old Town is currently tranquil, several areas lack light due to the transformers being disconnected.
Residents demand that the President take action on their behalf because they want their lights restored.
“They fired at us, we had to throw stones at them to defend ourselves, and now that they have cut us off, the companies here are unable to function. We need the lights back.” This is not a battleground.
