The police in Kumasi are looking into the circumstances surrounding the death of a 50-year-old City Guard of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA).
A commercial driver allegedly attacked Thomas Amakye Yankey, also known as Congo Soldier, with a knife.
According to the KMA's Public Relations Officer (PRO), Henrietta Afia Konadu Aboagye, the deceased attempted to prevent the driver and his mate from loading at an unlawful location, which led to a misunderstanding.
According to her, amid the confusion, the driver pulled out a knife and stabbed the City guard in the neck and stomach several times, causing significant injuries.
According to Ms. Henrietta Konadu, the driver and his companion are both being remanded in police custody to assist with the inquiry.
Meanwhile, authorities from the KMA, led by Mayor Sam Pyne, formally lodged a complaint with the Ashanti Regional Police Command and visited the late city guard's family to console them.
