A 32-year-old man at Nkawie Panin within the Ashanti Region is battling for his life after he was butchered over a bunch of plantains. A police report indicates that the victim, Ali Dawuda was in his house around 6:30 pm on Saturday, January 21, 2023, when the suspect, angrily came in to accuse him of stealing his plantain.
Before Dawuda could utter a word, the suspect, identified as Boakye pulled a cutlass and butchered him. After committing the crime, the suspect, reportedly, fled the crime scene and left the injured Dawuda to his fate.

He was later transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi. However, the suspect is still at large.
