A 37-year-old man, Uwombornyi Bado, has met his untimely death after he was stabbed with a stick in his stomach by a colleague, Alhassan Merasa.
This happened at Zongo-Machire, a farming community near Chinderi, the District capital of Krachi Nchumuru of the Oti Region.
He was rushed to a clinic at Chinderi and later referred to the Kete-Krachi District Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Sources said the deceased and the suspect were close friends but could not establish what brought about the misunderstanding.
John Mpoebi Nteleye, the Assembly member of Donwieso West Electoral Area, later confirmed the saddening incident to the press.
The Assembly member said the incident was later reported to the police, adding that the suspect was subsequently arrested by officers at Chinderi Police Command.
Some community members said they were shocked and dismayed at the tragic incident.
The body of the deceased has been deposited at Krachi West District morgue for preservation, while the police pursue further investigations.
