“I have been interacting with a gentleman whose makeshift shop where he sells mobile phone credits was destroyed and some of the community members are saying the people who were attacked were fans of Bastie Samir,” Maxwell said.
Maxwell added that he and his cameraman were prevented from leaving the place with pictures and footages of the scene, since it was seized and they were deleted by a man claiming he is the leader of the community
“They warned us not to return to the community to report about what happened,” Maxwell said.
It also appears that many of the community members had been warned against speaking to the media about the fight.

“At the Bukom Park we met about 20 gentlemen who were watching a game of football and they told me they just don’t want to comment on the fight that happened on Saturday, otherwise they will get into trouble,” Maxwell recounted.
