According to him, he had paid part of his water bill.
“Haven’t I paid some of the money? Aren’t we all Ghanaians? You can’t do anything. If you like, go closer to the meter. If you disconnect the meter, I will also cut you into two,” he said.
While he was threatening the Ghana Water Company Limited staff, an individual whose name has not been disclosed was also heard cautioning the elderly man to be careful with how he handled the machete.
