A member of the Ntortroso Watchdog Committee, Kofi Asiedu, has allegedly stabbed a 43-year-old galamseyer, John Sarfo, popularly known as Nigeria man, to death.
Kwadwo Bright, an eyewitness, in an interview with Adom News said the incident occurred around 9:00 pm on Tuesday when they were at the galamsey site to work.
He said members of the Committee confronted them amid attempts to seize their loads which they refused, causing the suspect who is now in police custody to stab his colleague who died on the spot.
