He was found lifeless with stab wounds and blood-soaked clothes.
The incident occurred at about 4:30 am on Thursday near Goodness filling station at the Ashaiman main bus [trotro] stop.
The victim was said to be holding a bag containing money and a mobile phone when he was approached by the suspected criminal gang.
A trader at the Ashaiman main bus stop, Yaw Kwakye told Graphic Online's Benjamin Xornam Glover that he heard some criminal gangs had attacked the victim.
The victim reportedly refused to hand over his bag to them. And in the ensuing struggle, he (victim) was allegedly stabbed in the stomach.
The death of the man and the resultant allegation that the victim was a military personnel has sent panic waves among a section of residents of Ashaiman.
The panic is borne out of a similar incident in the municipality, where some soldiers invaded Ashaiman on March 7, 2023 after their colleague, Private Imoro Sherrif, was killed in Ashaiman Zongo Laka on Saturday, March 4, 2023
The Police in Ashaiman when contacted declined to comment.
