Doctors at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra have successfully saved the life of a 29-year-old farmer after surgically removing a motorbike key that became lodged in his head during a violent attack in the Oti Region.

The victim, Moro Razak, sustained the life-threatening injury on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, at about 9:00pm while reportedly attempting to separate two youths engaged in a fight at Amenyo, a farming community in the Jasikan Municipality.

According to reports, the confrontation involved two young men from Bodada who had travelled to Amenyo for a gambling activity. In an attempt to restore calm, Razak intervened but was allegedly stabbed with a motorbike key, which penetrated and became embedded in his skull.

He was initially rushed to the Jasikan Municipal Hospital, where he received emergency treatment before being referred to the 37 Military Hospital in Accra for specialised medical care due to the severity of his injuries.

Speaking to the Reporters, Moro Alhassan, an uncle of the victim who has been staying with him at the hospital, disclosed that surgeons successfully performed the delicate procedure on Sunday, July 26.

“The operation was successful, and Razak is recovering well by the grace of Allah,” he said.

Mr Alhassan expressed appreciation to the medical team at the 37 Military Hospital for their professionalism, expertise and commitment, noting that their swift intervention was instrumental in saving Razak’s life.

He also thanked relatives, friends and well-wishers who offered prayers and support following the incident, while appealing for continued prayers as the young farmer remains under medical observation and continues his recovery.

The incident has left residents of Awoma, Amenyo and neighbouring communities shocked, with many describing it as a tragic consequence of a dispute that escalated into violence.

Police investigations into the incident are ongoing.
