Over the last few months Kojo has been the victim of cuckooing with Okie and Ravi using him as a drugs runner, and using his flat as the base of operations.
But tonight as Okie threatened Kojo with a knife, Harry Mitchell ran in to defend his friend.
He screamed at Kojo to run before tackling Okie and trying to disarm him.
The two men fought in a brutal and bloody fight before Harry got the upper hand and tried to take the knife.

However in shocking scenes Okie ended up accidentally stabbed and bled to death in Harry’s arms.
In a strange twist Okie stopped Harry from calling for an ambulance to save his life – instead insisting that Harry needed to clean the scene and run to avoid being locked up.
But when Harry’s dad Teddy arrived, having found a distressed Kojo in the street, he saw Harry had killed Okie and decided to act.
With Harry determined to confess to killing the drugs boss, Teddy dragged him home to buy time.
There, he and ex-wife Nicola Mitchell, set about preparing to cover up the crime with Nicola ordering Harry to remove all his bloodied clothes before taking a thorough shower to remove all traces of what had happened.
And as Harry followed her instructions, Nicola was left horrified when Teddy told her that he had no intention of covering it up – or letting Harry go to prison.
Instead, he vowed to take the blame and went over to the flat to put his prints on the knife and stage it so it looked like he was responsible.
He called the police just in time for a horrified Harry to run up and see him being arrested for a murder that he didn’t commit.
But is Teddy leaving the show? Or will he find a way to get away with Okie’s killing?
