The clashes reportedly left two persons critically injured and led to the arrest of three persons who have since been granted bail by the police.
In a Citi News interview, the Public Relations Officer of the Accra Regional Police Command, ASP Effia Tenge,noted that reports from the clashes alleged the involvement of Mr. Vanderpuye, hence the invitation.

Aside the invitation of the MP, ASP Tenge also said investigations will continue as the police suspected more culprits were in hiding.
“After the said the incident, the police made arrest of certain young men that we believe were involved in said disturbances. The police investigation indicated that they were however implicated and as a result of that the police has so far granted them bail and as and when we need them, we won’t hesitate in calling them to also answer questions.”
“We however believe that those who were actually involved have gone into hiding, but she arrested “we have intensified our investigation to ensure that those people are arrested,” she said.
