National Democratic Congress (NDC) communications officer in Asante Mampong has reportedly been stabbed to death by his wife.
The unfortunate incident occurred on Thursday night [April 4, 2024].
The deceased, a 45-year-old identified as Osei Yaw Akoto, was stabbed while fighting with his wife.
In an interview, a neighbour and close friend of the deceased by the name George confirmed the incident, which has become a surprise to many in the community where the deceased and his family reside.
According to the friend, the first son of Osei Yaw rushed to his house to inform him about the condition of the father, who was popularly known in the town as ‘Borga’.
“So I rushed to his house because we are neighbours; I call him Borga, and so when I got there, he was lying in a pool of blood but still breathing. He was stabbed in his chest, and so it was deep. I don’t have a car, so I rushed to get a car, and we sent him to the hospital,” he narrated in an interview monitored by The Ghana Report on Adom FM.
He revealed that when they rushed him to Asante Mampong Government Hospital, the doctor tried to stabilise him, but he died within 15 minutes.
George further disclosed that Osei Yaw and the wife often had misunderstandings over issues, but unfortunately, Thursday’s incident resulted in the untimely death of his friend.
The wife has been arrested to assist with investigations.
This murder case comes at the back of a 40-year-old man, identified as Yusif Abubakar, who was stabbed to death by his colleague, Latif, at Old Bortianor in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.
The bizarre incident happened close to a mosque after Wednesday (March 13, 2024) afternoon prayers at Old Botianor.
Before the unfortunate incident occurred, Abubakar and the suspect allegedly engaged in a verbal altercation.
