In a dramatic turn of events, ACP Opoku has since distanced himself from the operation and ordered the arrest of Muzambilu and Ayuba, who are currently in police custody. The violence is alleged to have followed the deployment of land guards by a prominent Member of Parliament from a neighbouring constituency, described by sources as a known land speculator. Confirming the incident to Adom News, ACP Opoku said several suspects had been arrested, with two individuals receiving medical treatment under police guard. However, speaking later to Citi News on Tuesday, 27 January, ACP Opoku categorically denied reports that the clash had claimed any lives. Security has since been intensified in parts of Winneba, with police maintaining a strong presence to prevent further disturbances.
