An Accra High Court has remanded into police custody the suspect who allegedly stabbed the son of Awutu Senya East MP, Hawa Koomson.
The suspect, Usman Haruna is accused of stabbing Ato Koomson during a scuffle at the Electoral Commission office in Ofaakor near Kasoa in the Central Region.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Sunday, June 2, 2024, before the day’s activities at the EC office began. Police arrested Haruna during the disturbance, which led to the stabbing of Mr. Koomson.
Haruna is scheduled to reappear before the court on June 19, 2024.
An eyewitness reported that the clash arose from a disagreement over the queuing of voters seeking to transfer their votes to the constituency. During the altercation, Ato Koomson was stabbed in the chest and subsequently rushed to the 37 Military Hospital in Accra.
Additionally, three members of the NDC were injured and admitted to the Kasoa Polyclinic.
