The Agona Kwanyarko Police have arrested two suspects for allegedly stabbing an Okada rider to death at Agona Okoto-Kwaa in the Agona East District of the Central Region.
The suspects, who have been handed over to the Agona Swedru Divisional Police Command, reportedly killed the rider after hiring his services.
Police sources indicate that on Sunday, the suspects hired the deceased to transport them from Agona Kwanyarko to Agona Okoto-Kwaa.
Upon reaching a section of the road, they allegedly asked the rider to stop, pulled out a knife, and demanded the motorbike key.
The victim, however, resisted, and in the struggle, he was stabbed in the eye, rendering him unconscious.
He was rushed to the Agona Swedru Government Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
On Wednesday evening, angry Okada riders stormed the Agona Swedru Divisional Police Command, demanding the release of the suspects to lynch them.
In an interview with Adom News, one of the riders, Joseph Mensah, revealed that the suspects had absconded with the motorbike. However, they later returned to a nearby community for another operation, where they were arrested.
