Six people, including a toddler, have been struck by stray bullets at Kwabenakwa in the Obuasi East District of the Ashanti Region.
The incident occurred after a member of a family involved in a chieftaincy dispute allegedly fired a gunshot in celebration following a court ruling in favour of his faction.
According to eyewitnesses, the suspect — identified as Kofi Cole — mobilised some relatives and boarded a tricycle to jubilate after hearing the verdict, during which celebratory gunfire was discharged.
Stray bullets from the shooting hit six people, including a toddler.
The incident, which happened on October 14, 2025, has left residents in shock.
Four of the injured victims were treated and discharged, while a mother and her baby were referred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for further treatment.
The suspect, however, remains at large.
