A swarm of bees on Wednesday chased attendees of a ceremony being held to hand over the Asokore Community Centre which was due for renovation to a contractor.
The bees’ invasion saw the Member of Parliament for New Juaben North, Nana Adjei Boateng also a Deputy Local Government Minister, the Municipal Chief Executive, Comfort Asante, Chiefs, and community members in attendance run for their lives.
The bees are believed to have thronged from beehives from the ceiling of one of the rooms at the Community Centre.
