The incident occurred as firefighters battled a devastating blaze at the market, during which tensions reportedly rose between fire officers, traders, and some local youth who had gathered at the scene.

Eyewitnesses say the situation escalated after some residents and traders attempted to assist in extinguishing the fire, while others filmed the operation. In the ensuing clash, three people, including the journalist, reportedly sustained injuries.

According to eyewitnesses, some fire officers allegedly assaulted individuals who were recording videos at the scene, including Samuel Addo, despite him identifying himself as a journalist on duty. Some women present were also reportedly attacked while filming the incident.

Speaking after the event, Samuel Addo said he was beaten by the officers while covering the clash and alleged that GH¢20,000 went missing during the assault.

The injured victims were later attended to, and calm was eventually restored at the market.

Information gathered indicates that one Mariama Abu, a primary school teacher, was assaulted in the school’s premises by a parent of one of her pupils.

It is said that the teacher disciplined the pupil for riding a bicycle on the compound while lessons were ongoing.

Following a report made to the parent by the child, the woman is said to have rushed to the school to beat up the teacher causing injury to her face and other parts of the body, Adom News correspondent, Issac K. Normanyo, was told.

A section of the pupils who spoke to Adom News expressed shock over the conduct of their mate and his mother.

This has resulted in the closure of the school.

Some parents also voiced out their displeasure and asked for stringent punishment for the said parent.

The assembly member for the Brahabebome electoral area, Kassim Iddrisu, who condemned the behaviour of the parent, disclosed the woman is in police grips.
