Kejetia Security Guard Stabbed With Screwdriver
After a struggle with the dead overloading at the market, a security guard stationed at the Kejetia new market was allegedly stabbed to death with a screwdriver by a driver’s companion.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident occurred on Saturday, April 9 after a security guard stabbed the driver, knocking him out.
An enraged friend retaliated by attacking the security guy with a screwdriver.
The eyewitness who described himself as Prince, a station master at Agric Kwadaso, explained that “during the hot afternoon on Saturday, April 9 all what I saw was a hot misunderstanding between a security guard and a driver. So, the security guard stabbed the driver into an unconscious state, then the driver’s mate also rushed to his car and wielded a screwdriver and stabbed the security guard. He fell unconscious and was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital”.
The driver, who had been stabbed earlier, is currently being treated at the Kejetia hospital, while the suspect is being held by police and aiding with the investigation.
In a statement, the Mayor of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, Samuel Payne, expressed concern about the situation and promised a crisis management meeting to establish the issue and viable measures to prevent repetition.
