Then the group quickly opened fire on them, wounding two of them in the process, according to reports.

It is unclear what led to the shooting incident.

This same centre was marred by an incidence of violence during the voter registration exercise.

The incumbent MP, Mavis Hawa Koomson, fired a gun at the centre after a skirmish between NDC and New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters in the area.
