Alfred Okyere: Ghanaian Student Killed 1 Week Into Part-Time Job In Canada by malali(op): 10:03am On Feb 09, 2025
Alfred Okyere came to Saskatoon from Ghana in September 2024

A family friend says homicide victim 23-year-old Alfred Okyere came to Saskatoon from Ghana four months ago as an international student with plans to build a better life.

Alexander Osei-Owusu said Okyere lived with a sister and took a part-time job earlier this month at DSI Underground Canada, a mining supply company with a sprawling shop in the city's north industrial area.

"As many students these days, everybody is trying to find work here and there to get something, to support the education," Osei-Owusu said.

Osei-Owusu said Okyere was stabbed by a co-worker on Monday night.

In a news release, police said they were called to the facility at 8 p.m. CST.

"Upon arrival, Police located a 23-year-old male victim suffering from stab wounds," the release said.

"He was transported to hospital where he was pronounced deceased."


Alfred Okyere came to Saskatoon from Ghana in September 2024. He was killed at the part-time job he had been working at for a week.
Troy Francis Leclair, 53, appeared in provincial court Wednesday morning charged with first-degree murder.

Okyere was born in Kumasi, Ghana. Osei-Owusu said Okyere was an active member of the Church of Pentecost in Saskatoon, "a big church for the Ghana community."

Friends have set up a GoFundMe campaign for his family.

Police did not release Okyere's name or the name of the business. They declined to speak to what happened that night, saying it's an ongoing investigation.

DSI Underground did not respond to an interview request from CBC.

JAPA to death.

Killed by co-worker, You want to know the evil people in this world ?

The people who hate other people based on the color of their skin(black), their religion(Muslim) or culture(Africans).

If a white man was to work with any Nigerian hard labor job, I guarantee you, nobody will stab him to death based on his skin color.

But there is something about white people and this innate hatred towards black people.

Black people hate themselves more than white people hate them!
The level of tribalism in Nigeria is more than the level of racism in a white country.

Thats why they are so welcoming you to come to their country
Thats why they are not deporting black people
Thats why when there is police brutality its always white people that are killed
They sure loved us enough to leave all the European countries on the way to Africa to capture slaves.

Re: Alfred Okyere: Ghanaian Student Killed 1 Week Into Part-Time Job In Canada by WeirdAlien:
How many people are killed in their houses in Jos/Kaduna/Kano because of their tribe, over the years?
What about Ketu/Mike 12 crisis that had repeatedly happened?
You all have acutely short memories. Some of us lost family and friends to these senseless killings. Are you guys 10 year olds or what?
Look for the sense and you'd find it.

All of you that supported Trump and want to japa,is God that will see you through.

Black guys have died because a white guy babe was hitting on them.

Have you worked into a club as an African woman and then because of your big blossom all guys want to buy you a drink ,even ones with girlfriends. Then the security comes and walks you out for "constituting a nuisance" or "public disturbance" just because people were leaving their partners to come dance with you?


If I didn't get married and thus have my citizenship,I will have returned back to Nigeria or a saner African country like Namibia or ivory coast.it was bloody out there .

Worse off for illegals . Someone that hates you for no reason will report you to the immigration for working extra hours...

Exactly what I was going to type. When we discuss racism, we bury our attention in skin colours only. But, in Nigeria, extreme racism exists across tribes...that is, people of supposedly same skin colour.

Anyone that kills another because of their skin color, is not different from extremists that kill because of religious differences.
