Speaking in an interview with this reporter on Otec FM’s morning show dubbed ‘Nyansapo’ on Monday, April 11, 2022, the PRO for the KMA madam Henrietta Afia Konadu Aboagye stated that preliminary information reveals the deceased popularly known as ‘Congo Soldier’ is said to have prevented the driver and his mate from loading at an unauthorised place which resulted in a misunderstanding.
