A student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, affiliated with Unity Hall(Conti), has been hospitalised after he was stabbed multiple times during an altercation at a “Thank You” tour event of the New Patriotic Party in the Ashanti Region.
The incident occurred on Tuesday April 29 at the Bantama Pentecost Church, where the event was held.
The victim was part of the Jama Group from Unity Hall, which had been hired by the camp of former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Agyapong, to help make the event lively.
According to eyewitnesses, a wealthy friend of Kennedy Agyapong who attended the event dashed money to the Jama group, but a group of well-built, gun-wielding men—believed to be NPP members—appeared from nowhere and took the money.
This led to a confrontation between the Jama group and the well-built men, as gunshots were fired in the ensuing melee.
One of the Jama group members was stabbed in the process.
He was rushed to the emergency unit of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment.
Kennedy Agyapong and his team have lodged an official complaint at the Kumasi Central Police Command.
No arrest has been made.
