Jacob said "The hunter after noticing the movement in the bush thought it was a game and without getting closer to identify what it really was shot inside the bush. They then heard the noise of a human being screaming and when they got closer, it was the farmer.

"The hunter afraid of the unfortunate incident then sent his son to go and inform some nearby residents to come to his aid. When the son and the people got there, the hunter had shot himself to death."

However, the wounded farmer is receiving treatment at the Akuapem Mampong Hospital while the body of the hunter has been deposited at the morgue of the same Hospital.
