The man was killed following a confrontation over a GH¢5 debt he owes him.

Reports by Adomonline stated that the deceased whose name was given as Ben, a drinking spot operator, was shot twice on his chest by Kwame Dankwa, a 50-year-old hunter who had confronted him to pay his debt.

Ben was reported to have refused to pay the GH¢5, a situation that angered the hunter to kill the man.

Kwame pulled a locally manufactured gun used for hunting and shot the man.

He was pronounced dead on arrival at the Tetteh Quarshie memorial hospital in Akuapem-Mampong, Kwabena Ofori, a resident told Accra-based Joy FM.

He said "Kwame Dankwa went to Ben who operates a drinking spot to collect his Gh₵5 he claimed the man owed him but when he approached him he also failed to pay the money so it turned into a fight and Kwame Dankwa shot him twice. When he was sent to Mampong he was reported dead."
