A 22-year-old soldier with the Ghana Armed Forces band in Sunyani in the Bono Region has been killed at Taifa, a suburb of Ashaiman in the Greater Accra Region.
According to reports, he was stabbed several times by unknown attackers in the early hours of Saturday.
Reports suggest that he was returning from his girlfriend’s house in Taifa and heading towards his residence at Zongo-Laka at Ashaiman when the unfortunate incident occurred.
He was carrying a laptop and other electronic gadgets, but the attackers made away with only his iPhone.
Information gathered is that the police are currently investigating the circumstances under which the soldier was killed.
This is the second reported death of a soldier in less than a month.
