He said Kuma Ahiadu who spotted the suspect warned him to let the fowls go but he refused and was attempting to move away.
Kuma, on realising that the suspect might escape with the fowls, raised an alarm which led to a struggle with the suspect.
The suspected thief, in the process, stabbed the 34 year-old mason and subsequently took to his heels.
“My brother was trying to prevent a thief from stealing his fowl, leading to a fight and in the process, the thief stabbed him”, the deceased’s brother recounted.

But he (deceased) was pronounced dead on arrival at the Hospital.
The thief who is currently at large abandoned the fowls following the struggle.
Meanwhile, the Ofaakor District Police Commander, ASP Christopher Darkey says his outfit has begun investigations into the matter.
