A man was injured and a vehicle burnt during a land dispute Monday evening (October 24, 2022) at Dzorwulu in Accra.
A video of what appears to be the aftermath of a chaotic scene which has been widely circulated on social media shows a Toyota Landcruiser vehicle on fire with one of its tyres in a gutter.
