The attacker known as Abode pounced on Mr Ofori, 55, during a feud and gouged one of his eye balls. He later strayed into the home of Mr Ofori and began wasting away water stored in the household. According to Kudekor, when Mr Ofori attempted to talk him out of his behaviour, Abode was peeved, shoved him to the ground and pounced on him. Before some neighbours could separate them, Mr Ofori's eye was found totally removed and lying on the ground.
