About 22 people have been arrested by the Eastern Regional Police Command in connection with the clash between the police and illegal miners at Akyem Asamanma in the Atiwa District last Thursday that resulted in the death of two persons and injury to, at least, five others.
The suspects are currently in custody in Koforidua pending further investigations, a police official told the Daily Graphic yesterday.
Meanwhile, the death toll still remains two although the residents of Akyem Asamanma speculate that the number could be more and alleged that some of the persons were shot and dumped in the Birim River.
Three of the five victims who suffered gunshot wounds had been treated and discharged as of 3:00p.m. yesterday when the Daily Graphic visited the Enyresi Government Hospital, while two others were still on admission.

There was tension at Akyem Asamanma when the Daily Graphic visited the community yesterday with a number of young men and women in red armbands to symbolise their displeasure with last Thursday’s clash.

It was the work of orders from above. These cr*minals in the ndc think any region that an NPP presidential candidate comes from should automatically be their enemy, they did that to Papa Kuffuor and they hated Ashanti to the core,anything Ashanti was ndc enemy even chicken from that region wasn't spared that hate. What sort and type of people are we dealing with who are filled with such hate that even Satan himself dislike them. Eastern region open your eyes and vote massively against them it doesn't matter where you come from in the Eastern region VOTE to send them away for the emancipation of our country. They have nothing good for the country than to h*te, e*vy, ste*l, lie,deceive,murder and destroy the country. They killed DCOP Awuni to bring their own evil one to the Eastern region to kill you,since that guy in charge of Eastern region Police force Came Eastern Region Has Known No peace,If not Suhum then Atiwa just to cow the people for the ndc to have their way but walahi! it will never happen. The Eastern region commander of the police is a FO*L,a dimwit an ***barred word*** hole, an idi*t. If he is being paid with the ndc money then that's fine ; but if Ghana's money and doing the bidding of the ndc against the people of this country then may he die like a chicken when he enjoys our money,because he is not working for the state but for a party.
