Recent updates from the Ghanaian community in the UK have corrected an earlier report concerning a tragic stabbing incident involving the Obinim family.

Contrary to previous information, Elder Joshua Obinim, the husband of the deceased Ghanaian woman Alberta Obinim, is alive.

Earlier reports had suggested that Elder Joshua, 64, had died along with his wife, Alberta, 43, after being stabbed by their 22-year-old son.

However the initial information, provided by the Ghanaian community in the UK, was inaccurate.

The stabbing incident occurred late on Sunday night, August 18, 2024, at the family’s home on Barnard Road, Gorton.

During the attack, which began around 11:20 p.m., the son, whose identity remains undisclosed, allegedly assaulted his family with a knife.

While Alberta Obinim tragically lost her life, Elder Joshua Obinim survived the attack and is currently receiving medical treatment.

Their 17-year-old daughter, who was also severely injured, remains in critical condition at the hospital.

The son was apprehended at the scene and is now in police custody, facing charges related to the incident.

This update was confirmed by community leaders, including Obudo and Alex Appiah Mensah, who serve as Ghana Union Chairman in the US and New Patriotic Party (NPP) UK Vice Chairman, respectively.

They shared the corrected information via a social media video.
