The police have arrested a 55-year-old farmer for murdering his 22-year-old stepson over a bowl of “banku”.

According to Accra-based Kasapa FM, the step-father of the deceased Sampson Adekakye accused his stepson called “Nyebro” of consuming all the food in the house.

This led to an altercation between the two men. Subsequently, a meeting was scheduled between them and the committee members to address the matter.
