Ghanaian police have launched a probe into a fatal shooting that left five men dead in Asiyaw, near Nsawam, in the Eastern Region. The incident, which occurred on April 29, reportedly stemmed from a dispute over sand mining.

Authorities say investigations are underway to determine the circumstances and those responsible for the violence, which has shocked the local community.

In a separate development, police also announced the rescue of two kidnapped women whose abductions were captured in widely circulated viral videos.

The dual incidents have heightened public concern over safety and law enforcement, prompting renewed calls for stronger security measures.
