\nThe source, also an eyewitness in the case, told the paper that on January 22, 2011, around 8:30am, Yaw Segbewu led some people to the land to work and while they there working, a group of young men wielding a gun, stones and sticks appeared and attacked them.
\nThe source said, \u201cIn the process, some of the workers on the land got inflicted with wounds as a result of the beatings some encountered in the hands of the gang led by one Ashie Dzani aka Abiw.\u201d
\nThe source said the Adenta police got wind of what was going on and quickly rushed to the area and arrested 23 of the men on the spot.
\nAs the police were leaving the site, they met another group of men from Yaw Segbewu\u2019s group wielding stones and sticks and heading towards the land to attack Ashie Dzane and his men in a counter attack.
\nThe source stated that the police quickly swept the other gang away to the police station for questioning.
