Davis Nkrumah, a final year Senior High School student at Twifu Hemang Technical Institute, is currently fighting for his life after being attacked with a machete over a GH¢5.00 debt.
The incident took place on May 7, 2023, in Jukwa, located in the Twifu Hemang Lower Denkyira District of the Central Region.
According to reports, the victim had been in school for several weeks but had failed to pay a debt of GH¢5.00 to a man known only as Salinko.
The suspect allegedly went to the victim’s home without warning or provocation when he heard that he had returned for the weekend and attacked him with a machete.
Neighbours who heard the victim’s screams rushed to the scene and disarmed the suspect. The suspect admitted to attempting to retrieve the debt while the victim was still in school, but was unsuccessful.
He stated that he could not explain why he carried a machete with him to attack the victim.
The Jukwa Police have the suspect in custody to assist with their investigations, while the victim is currently receiving treatment at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital.
