On Thursday, June 6, 2024, an Accra High Court remanded defendant Usman Haruna into police custody. Haruna is accused of stabbing Ato Koomson, the son of Awutu Senya East MP Mavis Hawa Koomson, following a skirmish at the Electoral Commission’s headquarters at Ofaakor, near Kasoa in the Central region.

Police caught the suspect during the incident that occurred on Sunday, June 2, 2024, at 5 a.m., before the start of the day’s activities at the EC office, which resulted in Mr Koomson’s stabbing.

The suspect is scheduled to appear again in court on June 19, 2024.

According to eyewitnesses, the fight began after a quarrel about the queuing of voters attempting to transfer their ballots to the constituency.

During the incident, Ato Koomson, the son of incumbent MP Mavis Hawa Koomson, was stabbed in the chest and sent to Accra’s 37 Military Hospital.

Three members of the NDC were also injured and admitted to the Kasoa Polyclinic.

A chop bar owner who has been linked to three murders has denied any participation in the crimes.

Richard Tetteh, a 35-year-old suspect in the killings, identified her as the mastermind.

According to reports, Tetteh claimed that the local chop bar food vendor employed him to remove fluids from his victims’ noses and private regions.

One of his victims is an anonymous lady in her 30s who was found dead, half-dressed, at the Otorkporlu Bridge, off the Odumase-Asesewa route in the Eastern Region.

The woman had been subjected to terrible actions such as cutting her tongue and private regions.

The motivation behind these horrible deeds is unknown, with Tetteh claiming that the chop bar owner paid him GHS500 every operation.

In an unexpected twist, the chop bar owner, who Tetteh claims recruited him for these ceremonies, flatly denies any participation in the deaths.

During an interrogation by the district police, she vehemently denies Tetteh’s charges, claiming that she has never planned a murder in her life.

As the inquiry continues, Tetteh and the chop bar owner remain in police jail, awaiting more interrogation and legal action.

The Millennium City District Police Command has apprehended Benlord Ababio, popularly known as Nana Ben, the suspect in the murder of a military commander over a property dispute.

Nana Ben, who also serves as Millennium City’s Gyasehene, allegedly opened fire on a vehicle carrying three officers, killing one instantaneously.

The deceased was shot while driving his own Toyota RAV4 with the registration number GR 3591-24.

According to Adom News’ Seth Kofi Adjei, who covered the event, the conflict arose from a land dispute between the deceased military commander and some accused unlicensed developers.

As the cops headed to the regional command to file a complaint, an eyewitness told Adom News that Benlord threatened to deal with them if they didn’t stop pursuing the land and police matter.

As his threats remained unanswered, he allegedly pursued them from behind and opened fire on the automobile.

He reportedly shot the deceased, who was driving, seven times in the head and chest, forcing the car to crash into a gutter.

The policemen managed to depart the scene.

The wounded cop was sent to a mother and child hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Meanwhile, the deceased’s body has been placed at the 37 Military Hospital.
