More than 40 people have been left nursing painful stings after a massive swarm of bees unexpectedly invaded the Daavi Blessed Police Station in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region.
The incident occurred when a faulty truck parked opposite the station—where the bees had built a hive underneath—was disturbed during an engine inspection. Opening the bonnet reportedly agitated the swarm, triggering a sudden and aggressive attack.
Witnesses said the bees spread rapidly across the area, stinging police officers, civilians and passers-by. Officers were forced to suspend work temporarily and take cover inside offices, hiding under desks and furniture to shield themselves from the onslaught.
The attack also affected nearby residents and livestock, with several fowls reportedly killed in the chaos. One of the victims is said to be in critical condition, while others received treatment for multiple stings.
Calm was eventually restored after the swarm dispersed, allowing normal operations at the station to resume. Authorities are expected to assess the situation to prevent a recurrence.
