According to the police, the couple’s disagreement escalated, leading to Asante allegedly stabbing Abrokwa in the chest with a piece of broken glass.

“Preliminary investigations indicate that on Friday, 9th October 2026, a disagreement ensued between the suspect and the deceased at his business premises. The confrontation allegedly escalated, resulting in the accused person stabbing the deceased in the chest with a piece of broken glass,” parts of the statement read.

Abrokwa was rushed to a hospital at Taifa-Burkina and later referred to the Ridge Hospital for further treatment.
