While the newly enstooled queen mother was being transported in a palanquin and paraded in a procession along the Mankessim Anafo road, some gunmen in a storey building near the Anafo junction opened fire at those taking part in the procession.
Two people, including a Bureau of National Investigations officer for the Mfantsiman Constituency, were killed while 8 others including a policeman sustained various degrees of injuries.
The Central Regional police arrested the chief and the queen mother who were believed to be behind the plot to distort the enstoolment process.
