Woman allegedly stabs fiancée following argument over insufficient funds for banku and okro stew.

A 21-year-old woman, Maafia, reportedly stabbed her 29-year-old fiancé, Kofi, during an intense dispute concerning a meal change in Mamanso, Eastern Region. The altercation began after Kofi, the victim, returned home from work. He had reportedly provided Maafia with funds to prepare banku and okro stew. However, Maafia stated that the allotted money was insufficient for the requested dish, prompting her to prepare light soup instead. Upon realising the change in the meal, Kofi confronted his fiancée, accusing her of disobeying his request. Maafia is said to have defended her decision by explaining the financial constraints and adding that she had even reserved a portion of the funds for later use. The verbal dispute quickly escalated into a physical altercation. During the struggle, Kofi reportedly picked up a knife. Maafia allegedly managed to disarm him, subsequently using the weapon to stab Kofi. Reporting the story on Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, journalist Abrewa Nana noted conflicting accounts of the incident. Maafia maintains that she did not intend to stab her fiancé. An eyewitness, however, provided a different narrative, alleging that Maafia intentionally inflicted the wound. Kofi is currently receiving medical attention for his injuries. Abrewa Nana further reported that as of the time of the broadcast, no official police report had been filed, as family members were reportedly attempting to resolve the matter privately.
