A tragic incident unfolded in Akyem Dwaso, Eastern Region, as 28-year-old ‘aboboyaa’ [Tricycle] rider, Yaw Amoako, lost his life while attempting to intervene in a conflict.

Accounts of the incident reveal that Mr Amoako was accompanied by his fiancée when he heard of the commotion outside.

Upon investigation, he discovered a familiar individual was under attack by a group. Mr Amoako intervened, using a belt in an attempt to halt the assault.

However, amidst the chaos, Nana Opoku, the alleged assailant, reportedly stabbed Mr Amoako three times, resulting in his tragic demise.

A Rainbow Radio reporter, Agya Dan recounted the sequence of events leading to the altercation on Nyankonton Mu Nsem.
