At least four people have been shot in Ejura in the Ashanti region following a clash between members of the New Patriotic Party and the opposition National Democratic Congress over the school feeding program.
According to Ultimate FM’s Isaac Bediako Justice, all major roads in the town have been blocked by the feuding party members.
The dispute started after some irate NPP members stormed the various public schools in the town to stop the school feeding caterers from cooking for the pupils. They are demanding that contracts with the caterers be cancelled so they can take charge since it is their government in power.
The injured are currently receiving treatment at the Ejura Government Hospital.
The development comes on the back of similar takeovers in various parts of the country following the inauguration President Akufo-Addo.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the National Peace Council, Rev. Emmanuel Asante has called on the President to strongly condemn the lawless and violent takeovers of state facilities by some suspected members of his party.
According to Rev. Asante, the government and Police must ensure that the lawless behavior of the suspected NPP members are immediately curtailed before it gets out of hand.
“The Police must act, the government must act, I know that right at the moment they [government] are saddled by all sorts of responsibilities but these are the very things that can cause diversion so the sooner we nib it in the bud the better,” Rev. Asante told Naa Dedei Tettey on Starr Today on Wednesday.

"***barred word*** has a price". Go and ask your leaders, if they really care about you! Check your pocket, if you deserve to die for them. Check Dubai investment program listing, who are the major investors. Also compare your parent pension benefits and compare the minimum ex-gratia for those leaders. Who gave you this choice of destiny!
When God says no nobody can say yes. But if ..... He will give your way out .
THIS IS WHAT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN IF THE PRESIDENT IS NOT TALKING
Have you noticed the spate of accidents and deaths since NPP took over power. Do not brush it aside, the gods may be calling for more blood. God help Ghana
Nana Addo cannot rule this nation. The power is now in your hands. If you cannot control these your villagers the death toll since you took over is rising. And do not forget violence begats violence. Both sides will suffer injury and deaths. Those who are throwing the tantrums do not wish Nana Addo well. Those who wish Nana Addo well will advise him to take action quickly to solve these problems. The world is watching.
This is not NPP and that NDC chairman of peace council must be ashamed of himself calling on the president to condemn. Did he ever call on mahama to condemn irate NDC boys whenever they went on rampage? Why not call the police to act by arresting the criminals.
NDC# RISE UP TO THE OCCATION NOW!!!! FIRE FOR FIRE!!!
What are the police doing and other law enforcement agencies? Ghana is greater than NPP and NDC. This lawlessness must stopped
