A carpenter, Kofi Narh, has been arrested and put before the Koforidua Circuit Court for attacking a 14-year-old Nigerian with acid in Koforidua in the Eastern region.
Starr News has gathered that, on the day of the incident, the victim(name withheld) while fellowshipping on Sunday at Watchman Charismatic Renewal Church, suffered stomach upset and dashed out of the temple to ease himself on a public toilet but his situation worsened. He, therefore, entered the illegal structure of the carpenter erected near the Diplomat and Embassy hotel.
The carpenter who was around the shop allegedly splashed acid on him when he attempted to ease himself. The carpenter reportedly chased him to the church premises while sprinkling the acid on him as the victim was screaming for help.
The suspect was arrested by the Church members and handed over to the police.
The victim who suffered injuries on the cheek, elbow, waist and part of the neck was rushed to the Eastern Regional Hospital.
