The Brong Ahafo Regional Police Command was forced to send in reinforcement from Techiman, Kintampo and Nkoranza to save the situation which had deteriorated in the town.
Meanwhile, police have arrested the man believed to be behind the riots, Addison Ayamba, while a manhunt search has been launched for the former District Chief Executive (DCE) for Atebubu, Sampson Owusu Boateng for allegedly inciting the clashes.
The situation got worse when the President nominated another person for the district assembly to consider as the new DCE.
