George Andrew Kumah said the police had been restrained by a court order and was unable to deploy personnel to monitor the ceremony and offer protection to the new Chief.

“It is the same community divided into two. So the side opposing want the other chief. They came to attack them in their individual houses. So it is true some people have sustained some cutlass wounds. I can count about five who have sustained injuries. Some sustained very serious cutlass wounds and wounds from other implements” Supt, Kumah stated.
