The Tesano Divisional Police Command has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of a 33-year-old businessman, Enoch Abrokwa, following an alleged stabbing incident at Ofankor Barrier in Accra.
His 19-year-old girlfriend, Emmanuella Asante, has been arrested and remanded into police custody by the court in connection with the tragic incident.
Preliminary police inquiries indicate that a disagreement broke out between the couple at the deceased’s business premises on Friday, 9th October 2026. The altercation escalated, leading to the suspect allegedly stabbing Abrokwa in the chest with a piece of broken glass.
The victim was immediately rushed to a hospital at Taifa-Burkina for emergency medical care before being referred to the Ridge Hospital. Medical personnel conducted surgery for a severe wound that affected his intestines, but he succumbed to his injuries on Wednesday, 14th October 2026, whilst undergoing treatment.
Addressing the development in a official release, the Head of Public Affairs for the Accra Region, Chief Superintendent Ms Juliana Obeng, confirmed that the suspect was apprehended on 10th October 2026 after being handed over to law enforcement by the complainant and three other individuals.
According to the police, the suspect reportedly admitted to stabbing the deceased during interrogation. She was subsequently arraigned and remanded to reappear in court on 3rd November 2026 as investigations proceed.
Meanwhile, the Accra Regional Police Command has advised members of the public to resolve interpersonal conflicts peacefully rather than resorting to violence. The police also appealed to the public to cooperate fully with investigators to ensure that justice is served in accordance with the law.
