The Ghana Police Service is investigating the death of a 33-year-old man, Enoch Abrokwa, following an alleged stabbing incident at Ofankor Barrier in Accra. His 19-year-old girlfriend, Emmanuella Asante, has been arrested and remanded as investigations continue.

Police said preliminary investigations indicate that the confrontation occurred on Friday, October 9. The disagreement allegedly escalated, and the suspect reportedly stabbed Abrokwa in the chest with a piece of broken glass.
The incident has prompted a police investigation led by the Tesano Divisional Police Command. Authorities are working to establish the circumstances surrounding the confrontation and the events that led to Abrokwa’s death.
