A man is receiving specialist treatment at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital after suffering a horrific head injury when a motorcycle key reportedly became lodged in his skull during a violent altercation involving two commercial motorcycle (Okada) riders in Jasikan.
According to information available to GhanaMedia.net, the victim was not one of the riders involved in the confrontation. Instead, he reportedly sustained the injury while attempting to separate the two men, who were allegedly fighting over a passenger.
Eyewitnesses said the confrontation escalated unexpectedly, resulting in the victim suffering a penetrating head injury after the motorcycle key became embedded in his forehead.
The injured man was immediately rushed to a nearby health facility, where he received emergency treatment before doctors referred him to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra for specialist medical care due to the seriousness of his condition.
Images circulating from the incident show the motorcycle key still lodged in the victim’s forehead while medical personnel worked to stabilise him ahead of his transfer.
The disturbing incident has reignited concerns over the increasing number of violent confrontations involving commercial motorcycle operators in parts of Ghana. Many residents are calling for stronger enforcement measures and peaceful conflict-resolution mechanisms to prevent similar incidents.
Authorities are expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the altercation. The victim remains under specialist care as medical professionals continue treatment.
