The mother of the deceased, Abena Acheampomaa, who narrated the incident to Citi News said the attackers subjected her son to severe beatings and later stabbed him in the ribs.

According to Citi News’ sources, police have identified one of the suspects as Evankon Mohammed who is currently at large with his three other accomplices.
