Boateng Junior, a 24-year-old mobile money (MoMo) vendor, has become the latest victim in a brutal attack targeting operators in the area.
Junior had been running a mobile money business for the past four years, initially operating within the former onion market until it was relocated to Racecourse. He subsequently moved his business to the new Racecourse market.
In an interview with John Marfo, host of Ghana Akoma on Akoma FM, the Assemblyman for Kwadaso Proper Electoral Area, Kwabena Frimpong, suspected that Junior’s assailant might have accosted him from Racecourse last Saturday.
“We are gathering information that he was approached by the attacker, possibly after being suspected of carrying a large sum of money,” Frimpong stated.
Body Discovered
Junior’s lifeless body was discovered on Monday after a pervasive stench engulfed the Old VAG vicinity, a well-known area in Kwadaso where the deceased resided.
“We found multiple stab wounds on his body, along with a slit throat. It appears he was tortured before being killed,” Mr. Frimpong told John Marfo.
This incident marks the second such brutal attack in two years. Last year, an onion trader was similarly murdered at the Kwadaso onion market.
