Tension between the two groups has since remained high.

Concerning audio surfaces ahead of the protest

The situation took a fresh turn when Strabo Quame shared what he described as evidence backing his concerns about potential violence from those aligned with the Efuttu side.

In a video, he played an audio recording of an alleged man with supposed Efuttu ties speaking inside a WhatsApp group.

The man in the recording appeared to encourage others to come armed ahead of the Gomoa demonstration, claiming he was ready and urging fellow group members to do the same.

Strabo Quame presented the audio as proof that the threat to the planned protest is real, even as organisers maintain their commitment to keeping the march non-violent.

Reactions to the planned Gomoa demonstration

The announcement drew a wave of responses on social media, with many questioning the motivations behind the march and urging young people to be cautious.

Kobina Akraba Anfo asked:

"Will you be part?"

Natalie Yang wrote:

"I hope it will be a peaceful one, because you people have to tread cautiously. I hope you people don't go and take Zongo boys and send them there in the name of demonstration. Where have you and your brother been all these years? Suddenly, you people care about Gomoa."

Antwi Afigya Kwabre Medalz said:

"You and your brother want to use innocent youths [Expletive] for your political power, right?"

Mohammed Nana Asare Quartey stated:

"We, the people of Effutu Guans, will not strike you but will defend ourselves when you strike."

Chameleon Walker Gh warned:

"Dear youth of Gomoa, don't get yourself involved if you are not from the royal family. They don't share the money with you when they sell their Land. Don't allow yourself to be used by this [Expletive] here."
