A near bloody clash between Dagomba head porters commonly referred to as Kayeyes and some local kayaye Wednesday evening in the New Juaben Municipality of the Eastern region has led to the injury of at least two persons.

The clash brought to a halt, activities at the Kumasi Lorry Terminal as the two feuding groups engaged in free for all fight.

Starr News’ Eastern Regional Correspondent, Kojo Ansah reported that, the fight broke out when a Dagomba head porter allegedly attempted to take the luggage belonging to a local Kayeye stationed at the Lorry terminal.

The Dagomba Kayeye was slapped and beaten by two of the local kayeyes.

Angered by the action of the locals, the Dagomba went and mobilized about 20 Dangomba Kayeyes who stormed the lorry terminal with some weapons to revenge leading to a near bloody clash.

The swift intervention by Police Personnel from the New Juaben Municipal Command led by the Station officer, Chief Inspector Ebenezer Sakyi, helped to maintain law and order.

The Police managed to arrest 14 persons who are currently being detained at the Police station.

Some drivers at the Kumasi Lorry Terminal told Starr News that this is not the first time the kayayes have been engaging in a brawl.

According to drivers, the Dagomba Kayayes sometimes trespass their operational jurisdiction to compete for goods at the Lorry station which is reserve of the other group.
