The entire Oborpah, a farming community in the Eastern Region, has been thrown into a state of fear and mourning following the murder of one Emmanuel Dapaah, a farmer and resident.
The middle-aged man, presumably in his forties was allegedly shot and killed while sleeping by his four-month-old daughter by unknown assailants Monday night.
According to locals, the deceased who was survived by the young daughter and his baby mama and identified only as Nyengor, was sleeping in their room together with his partner and their daughter at about 11 pm when two men brazenly walked into their room and shot him twice, killing him instantly.
Dadematse (community leader) of Oborpah, Moses Tetteh Agbertey recounting the narration of the woman, said at around 11 pm, she heard an unusual noise outside where her older children were passing the night.
To find out what was happening, she ventured to open the door and upon doing so, two armed men pushed her aside, invaded the room and opened fire on her sleeping partner.
The attackers shot him in the left side of his chest and the abdomen with his intestines gushing out in the process.
