The Agona Kwanyarko Police have arrested two suspects for allegedly stabbing an Okada rider to death at Agona Okoto-Kwaa in the Agona East District of the Central Region.
The suspects, now in the custody of the Agona Swedru Divisional Police Command, reportedly killed the rider after hiring his services.
According to police sources, the suspects hired the deceased on Sunday to transport them from Agona Kwanyarko to Agona Okoto-Kwaa.
Upon reaching a section of the road, they allegedly ordered the rider to stop, pulled out a knife, and demanded the motorbike keys. When the victim resisted, a struggle ensued, during which he was stabbed in the eye, leaving him unconscious.
He was rushed to the Agona Swedru Government Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
On Wednesday evening, a group of enraged Okada riders gathered at the Agona Swedru Divisional Police Command, demanding the release of the suspects so they could exact their own justice.
In an interview with Adom News, one of the riders, Joseph Mensah, stated that the suspects had fled with the motorbike. However, they later returned to a nearby community for another attempted crime, where they were arrested
