Victor Nana Kankam was arrested in May 2020 for shooting to death his tenant, Benjamin Okyere, over rent issues.
The landlord however said he did so in self-defence.
“Although I am not supposed to talk to you without legal representation, all I can say is that I shot him [tenant] in self-defence,” he is reported to have said to JoyNews in an interview in 2020.
