A swarm of bees has attacked Daavi Blessed Police Station at Gomoa Amoada Junction in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region, injuring about 40 persons, including four police officers, with one other in a critical condition.
In an interview with Adom TV, Sakora Ahiadome, one of the victims, recalled his experience, stating that he tried to spray the bees but narrowly escaped serious harm.
He disclosed that, “One person is in critical condition and urgently needs medical attention or he could die.”
Ahiadome revealed that the bees also attacked animals, killing about three fowls. According to him, officers were trapped by the bees for three hours, left hungry and vulnerable during the ordeal.
The incident has raised concerns over the need for better precaution when dealing with aggressive bees in public areas.
Reports indicate that the bees had been hiding inside a faulty tipper truck parked beside the station. The swarm spread and attacked residents after the vehicle owner opened the bonnet, resulting in multiple stings.
