A 19-year-old woman, Emmanuella Asante, has been remanded into police custody over the death of her 33-year-old boyfriend, Enoch Abrokwa, who allegedly died after being stabbed during a disagreement at Ofankor Barrier in Accra.
The incident occurred on Friday, October 9, 2026, at the deceased’s business premises, according to the Accra Regional Police Command.
Preliminary investigations indicate that a misunderstanding between the two escalated, resulting in the alleged stabbing with a piece of broken glass.
Abrokwa was initially taken to a hospital at Taifa-Burkina before being referred to Ridge Hospital, where he underwent surgery for a deep wound that affected his intestines.
He died on October 14 while receiving treatment, five days after the incident.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, October 21, the police said Asante was arrested on October 10 after the complainant and three other people brought her to the police.
The suspect reportedly admitted to stabbing Abrokwa and was subsequently arraigned before a court.
She has been remanded into police custody and is expected to reappear in court on November 3, 2026.
The Accra Regional Police Command has urged the public to resolve disagreements peacefully and refrain from violence.
It also appealed for public cooperation as investigations continue and the case proceeds in accordance with the law.
