The victim is under critical condition at the Koforidua Central Hospital.

Narrating the incident to Starr News, a Police officer with the Osina Police command Sergeant Joseph Butts said the police, as part of its investigations, will speak to the victim to give them a firsthand account of what exactly happened.

“The victim was wounded, but we will try and speak to him if he can tell us what exactly took place.

“His mother was the one who came to report the case, but she wasn't there when the incident occurred, but we need to know exactly what happened,” he said.
