On Thursday, February 15, 2024, at dawn, a man whose identity is still unknown was fatally stabbed by alleged armed robbers in Ashaiman, within the Greater Accra Region.
His clothes were covered in blood and he was discovered dead from stab wounds.
Near the Goodness filling station at Ashaiman Main Trotro Station, the incident happened on Thursday at roughly 4:30 in the morning.
The victim was reportedly approached by the criminal gangs while carrying a phone and a bag containing cash.
Yaw Kwakye, a trader at the Ashaiman Main Trotro Station, told Graphic Online that he had heard the victim was attacked by some criminal gangs who demanded the bag and other personal belongings, but he refused. He (the victim) was allegedly stabbed in the stomach during the ensuing struggle.
A portion of the locals are terrified as a result of the man’s death and the subsequent rumours that the victim was a military member. The fear stems from a comparable event that occurred in the Municipality on March 7, 2023, when some soldiers invaded Ashaiman following the death of their colleague, Private Imoro Sherrif, in Ashaiman Zongo Laka on Saturday, March 4, 2023.
The Police in Ashaiman when contacted declined comments.
