Isaac Asante got infuriated by the woman’s actions and pushed her setup including the maize unto the streets.

Kwaku Eric who had bought some of the maize and was then waiting for it to be ready questioned why Isaac would do such a thing but he was given a hot slap.

This led to a heated argument but some community members separated them.
