A disturbing incident occurred today, Tuesday, April 29, at Kumasi Bantama following a visit by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as part of their ‘Thank You Tour’ in the Ashanti Region.
The tour, which was expected to be a moment of celebration and appreciation, turned chaotic after a violent confrontation broke out among some students from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Unity Hall who were mobilised to cheer Kennedy Agyapong.
According to eyewitness accounts, the altercation ensued after the team of Honourable Kennedy Agyapong, a leading figure in the NPP, reportedly distributed money to a group of students from KNUST who had been mobilised for the event.
Each student was said to be entitled to GH¢500, but tensions rose when some individuals felt they had been short-changed during the distribution process.
The dispute quickly escalated into a physical fight, resulting in one student being stabbed during the scuffle.
The injured individual was rushed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for urgent treatment, while the perpetrator fled the scene.
