A 27-year-old Nigerian identified as John

Police in Ghana for allegedly stabbing his
landlord, Paul Goka, to death on January 2nd
for trying to stop him from using their
bathhouse in a compound occupied by over 10
tenants at Alajo, a surburb in Ghana.
According to a report by Daily Guide Ghana, on
the day of the incident, a disagreement which
degenerated into a fight started between the
two men after the deceased confronted the
suspect for openly having his bath in a
demolished bathroom after all tenants were
warned to use the public shower. John stabbed
the deceased in the stomach and he was
immediately rushed to the 37 Military Hospital
where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Speaking on the incident, a Ghanaian police
chief, ACP Nuhu Jango of the Nima Divisional
Police Commander, said John who was finally
arrested around Nima Roundabout on January
5, 2016, had on the day of the incident rushed
to their station to make a report that his
deceased landlord had inflicted knife wounds on
his right fourth finger. He was subsequently
given a medical form to go to the hospital for
treatment.
Around 9:30pm same day, one Vincent
Dzramado also stormed the station to report
that John Collins Alabi had stabbed his brother,
Paul Goka, in the stomach with a knife. Vincent
told the police that his brother was rushed to
the Maamobi Polyclinic for medical attention
and was referred to the 37 Military Hospital for
proper medical attention but died on arrival.
When police visited the house of John Collins,
he was not in the house. Around 10am on
