Youth of Old Tafo on Tuesday marched to the chief’s palace demanding guns to protect themselves.

This was after they had expressed concern – to journalists – about the growing threats from the Zongo youth in the community to avenge the the fatal uprising last February.

According to the youth, four persons have been recently attacked by the Zongo youth, leaving one Kojo Antwi almost butchered to death.

The Old Tafo youth accused their Member of Parliament, Anthony Osei Akoto, of allowing the tension to fester because he has not made any pronouncement on the issue.
