News reaching the desk of smartandstuck.com, indicates that Youth of Ofankor has set the house of the landlord who shot one of his tenants with a gun on fire.
The unfortunate incident happened on Sunday 24th May, 2020.
The landlord, Stephen Nana Kankam claims that he shot the deceased in self defense after all attempts to evict the tenant after his 2 year rent expired proved futile.
A friend who narrated the incident to our correspondent said that the landlord has been demanding his room keys from Benjamin Okyere who happens to be his tenants for some time now.
The deceased 31, have argued that he needs more time to pack out of the house. This did not go down well with Stephen Nana Kankam who threatened to deal with Benjamin Okyere but his threats was taken on a lighter note.
So on the fateful day when the sad incident happened, the landlord came for his keys from Benjamin Okyere with a taxi cab but was in a bullet proof. Sensing danger, Stephen reached out for his phone to call a police friend but he was not having the number on his phone.
So his friend who came for a visit went inside Okyere’s room to pick his phone and call the police but after getting inside the room, he heard four gun shots only to come out and see Benjamin Okyere lying in a pool of blood with gun in the hands of the landlord.
The friend had the gun also pointed at him after he tried to question the landlord and for that had to hide for some minutes and keep quite to save his life.
The friend then focused his attention on how to take Okyere to the hospital for medical attention but Benjamin Okyere was pronounced dead on arrival.
The suspect has been arrested but has denied to give full details on why he took such a deadly action though he has not denied killing his tenant.
We are reliably informed that some youth in the vicinity has taking the laws into their hands and has set the house where Benjamin was staying on fire.
