Eight police officers sustained injuries following a violent chieftaincy clash at Sampa in the Bono Region.
According to the Bono Regional Police Command, seven of the injured officers have been treated and discharged from the Sampa Government Hospital.
One officer who suffered a head injury has been transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, where he is responding to treatment.
This clarification comes after earlier reports falsely claimed that the officer had died.
The clash, which erupted on Sunday between the Sammordua and Sambga Gyafla factions, resulted in gunfire exchanges and the burning of several shops.
Chief Inspector Thomas Akeelah, spokesperson for the Bono Regional Police Command, said the officers came under fire while responding to the disturbance.
He added that their service vehicle, with registration number GP 686, veered into a ditch during the exchange of gunfire.
Police say calm has since been restored in Sampa, with patrols intensified and investigations ongoing to bring the perpetrators to justice.
