In the early hours of Thursday, February 15, 2024, a yet-to-be-identified man was fatally stabbed by suspected armed robbers in Ashaiman, Greater Accra Region.
His lifeless body, bearing stab wounds and blood-soaked clothes, was discovered near the Goodness filling station at Ashaiman Main Trotro Station around 4:30 am.
According to eyewitnesses, the victim, who was carrying a bag containing money and a phone, was approached by the criminals who demanded his belongings.
Despite resistance, he was overpowered, leading to a struggle during which he was stabbed in the stomach.
The incident has sparked fear among residents, particularly due to its resemblance to a previous event in the area. Last year, on March 4, 2023, Private Imoro Sherrif, a soldier, was killed in Ashaiman Zongo Laka, leading to a retaliatory invasion by soldiers on March 7, 2023.
The police in Ashaiman, when contacted, declined to provide further information on the case, according to Graphic Online.
