A student from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), affiliated with Unity Hall (Conti), is receiving emergency medical care after being stabbed multiple times during a violent altercation at a New Patriotic Party (NPP) “Thank You” tour event in the Ashanti Region.

The incident occurred on Tuesday at the Bantama Pentecost Church, where supporters had gathered for the event organized by the camp of former Assin Central MP, Kennedy Agyapong.

The victim was part of a Jama group from Unity Hall that had been engaged by Agyapong’s team to energize the occasion. Eyewitnesses report that a wealthy associate of Kennedy Agyapong gifted money to the group during the event. However, chaos erupted when a group of heavily built, gun-wielding men—believed to be affiliated with the NPP—allegedly seized the money.

A confrontation ensued between the Jama group and the alleged assailants, with gunshots heard during the clash. In the midst of the melee, one member of the Jama group was stabbed multiple times.

The injured student was rushed to the emergency unit of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment.

Kennedy Agyapong and his team have since lodged a formal complaint with the Kumasi Central Police Command. As of now, no arrests have been made.
