Two self-styled evangelists on Tuesday engaged in an open fight at the Drobo market in the Brong Ahafo region over preaching space.
One of the pastors took the regular spot of another whose name was given as Emmanuel who had been absence for a couple of days.
Upon his return, he met the new evangelist whom according to reports had been preaching from dawn cashing in at the market.
An eyewitness, Jacob Gyan who spoke to Adom News said the space in contention is a hot spot because pastors earn more when they preach there.
The confrontation, he noted, escalated into a fight leading to their arrest.
