4 Injured in Agona West Campaign Gunfire

According to the Member of Parliament for Agona West Constituency, Hon Cynthia Morrison, four people sustained injuries when her supporters and that of the governing party’s Parliamentary candidate, Chris Arthur, crossed path on Sunday night.

The injuries resulted from gunshots while both factions were undertaking their separate campaign activities in the constituency.

“Four people are injured and the police are investigating the issues,” she confirmed in an interview with TV3.

The legislator denied the gun was fired by one of her supporters as alleged by Chris Arthur’s faction.

She recollected, “Yesterday evening we went for a programme, and within the programme, we saw a convoy car coming, I didn’t know this car until it got closer to me then I saw a picture of the Parliamentary Candidate (Chris Arthur) brand on the car so I knew they were passing. They passed, but instead of them using the left they went straight and there were a lot of people on the road but my concentration was on what I was doing.

“Almost to the tail end of the programme, the police asked that they put me back inside the car because I was standing in the car I got inside the car not knowing what was going on then somebody said there was a gunshot. I didn’t hear a gunshot because I was close to the window so when I sat in, the police had to organize then we had to disperse.”
