A young man believed to be a supporter of Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, who contested but lost the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer race ahead of the 2024 elections, has reportedly been stabbed by individuals alleged to be party vigilantes.
This happened during the NPP's "Thank You Tour" in the Bantama Constituency of the Ashanti Region.
Eyewitnesses say the victim, part of a group of students from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), was threatened multiple times with pistols by the assailants, who later fired eight warning shots into the air.
The confrontation reportedly began when the students attempted to prevent the armed men from taking away cash presented after the event.
