Residents of Manso Nyankomase in the Amansie South District of Ashanti region have hit the principal streets of the community to demonstrate against alledged frequent brutalities by the military.
They are calling on the government and District Chief Executive to intervene before it gets bloody.
The demonstrators marched from the Nyankomase community to present their petition to the District Chief executive of Amansie South to forward it to the President.
According to the residents, an unknown company has arrived in the community ostensibly to reclaim devastated lands without consulting the community authorities.
In the course of preventing the alledged private company, a clash ensued between the soldiers guarding the company and community, leading to the injury of five people.
In a demonstration, the residents are asking the government to get the company to explain their activity in the community.
They also want the soldiers out of the community.
