Narrating how the incident occurred, a co-tenant to the deceased, Hamidu Issah explained,

“We heard the deceased Maa Rose shouting while mentioning the name Koo Baafi who happens to be an errand boy for her, so we thought it was a normal call which she normally does, but we realized the deceased’s voice was getting faint, so we rushed to her room at the last floor of the three-storey building.

“When got there, we saw blood stains all over the place, so we began following the blood stains and discovered the woman had been dragged to the bathroom by the suspect.

“We immediately called the police for assistance but the woman was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.”

The unfortunate incident has thrown the entire community into a state of shock and mourning.
