Eyewitnesses say the suspect, believed to be in his mid-twenties, had allegedly smoked a substance known locally as “Koros” shortly before the violent outburst.

According to onlookers, the man identified as Kofi began exhibiting strange behaviour moments after inhaling the drug. 

He was seen staggering around the station, shouting incoherently, and then suddenly pounced on a woman who was waiting for a commercial vehicle.

“He just grabbed her and started biting her face like an animal.

Everyone was screaming,” said one eyewitness, who gave her name as Akua.

He is currently in custody and assisting with investigations.
