The Police at Sowutoum in the Ga Central Municipality of the Greater Accra Region have arrested a 48-year-old Nigerian for allegedly stabbing a man he claims to be a thief.
Thompson Peter allegedly stabbed Misbau Amadu, 27, in the head with a knife after a confrontation at his residence at about 10:00 pm last Thursday.
The victim was rushed to the Mary Lucy Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival by the doctors.
Inspector Kwabena Danso, Deputy Accra Regional Police Public Relations Officer (PRO), said the suspect was arrested immediately the police received information about the attack.
Narrating the incident to DAILY GUIDE, Inspector Danso, said a week ago, Thompson Peter lodged a complaint at the Sowutoum Police Station that Misbau Amadu had broken into his apartment and stolen some items.
After taking the statement of Thompson, the PRO said the police proceeded to the residence of Misbau Amadu with the intent of inviting him to the station to help investigate the claim but he was not available.
On Thursday morning, Thomson reported that he had spotted the supposed thief in the area and so a detective was dispatched to the place but he was not seen.
Thompson said at about 9:00 pm last Thursday, Misbau came to his (Thomson’s) house, armed with a knife to attack him for reporting the case to the police.
In the course of the fight, Thompson said he overpowered Misbau and stabbed him in self-defence.
“The matter is still under investigations,” Inspector Kwabena Danso posited.

All which is being spread about this stabbing case are cooked lies. The deceased wasn't murdered at anyone's residence, he was stabbed on the streets. He wasn't rushed to any hospital neither, why don't Ghanaian journalist and investigators look really deep into cases before publishing? Ask Joynews crew who came to do their investigations, whether where the deceased blood was split at and where he finally fell and died someone's resident... And precise, the beginning of this whole thing was just because, the murderer insulted an elderly man to which the deceased cautioned the murderer not to do such for the man is older than him. The murderer didn't take that advise cool and so he tried fighting and somehow he instead ended him being beaten... The deceased, was never a criminal or whatsoever... He always stood for what was and is right. Come do your investigations and get the right news to publish.
You come to attack me in my house? Hummm if that is the fact then the Nija man has every right to defend him self /family /property. its sad a soul is lost but crime is not good.
If the Victim had succeeded in killing the accuse, he would have stolen from the suspect and succeeded killing him, then he would abscorn and never be found. Infact, it will not have been a story to tell. Ghana Police Ghana Police Ghana Police Ghana Police Ghana Police Ghana Police Ghana Police Ghana Police Ghana Police Ghana Police ??? HMMMMMMMMM
Good job, kill him again
