Ms Koomson who doubles as the Minister of Special Development Initiatives told Adom FM that she fired “warning shots” because “there were no police around”.
She said she went to the centre after receiving information that people from outside the constituency were bussed to register there as voters.
Reports indicate that the Electoral Commission (EC) officials fled from the scene after the altercation.
Meanhwile, the Ghana Police has disclosed that four persons have been arrested after the shooting incident while the MP has been invited.
In an interview with Citi FM, the Central Regional Public Relations Officer, DSP Irene Serwaa Oppong said: “Yes, we will invite Honourable Hawa to come and assist us but then there is procedure.

Additionally, the Police says the Kasoa Peace Town Top Hill Down polling centre where the incident happened has resumed registering voters.
