A violent clash erupted during the 2024 election in the Obuasi East constituency of the Ashanti region between three men in military uniform and civilians. The altercation began when a man confronted the uniformed personnel.

Reports indicate that the victim is a Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). The heavily armed soldiers had arrived at the Akaporiso polling station in a pickup vehicle, despite assurances from the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) that no military personnel would be deployed to the polling station.

The victim, challenging their presence, became involved in a heated confrontation, which escalated into an intense physical assault. The clash resulted in Hakiki being severely beaten by the soldiers.
