A 21-year-old graduate from Aburaman Senior High School has tragically lost his life.
The deceased is said to have been killed and abandoned on the road in Abura Eprow, Central Region.
The victim, identified as Joe from Abura Dunkwa, had plans to relocate to Accra to join his father after completing his high school education.
Accompanied by his mother to the Abura Dunkwa lorry station, he boarded a vehicle, ostensibly headed for Accra.
However, unbeknownst to his mother, Joe reportedly disembarked during the journey to attend a festival in Abura Eprow.
The Assembly Member of Abura Kwaman/Patoako Electoral Area, Hon. Ebenezer Annobil, made a chilling discovery as he witnessed the lifeless body of the victim being struck by several vehicles while on a motorcycle on the evening of December 2, 2023, around 8:00 PM.
Mr Annobil took immediate action, halting oncoming traffic and diverting vehicles away from the scene.
Expressing his suspicion of foul play, Annobil revealed that he believed the victim was intentionally killed and left at a sharp curve in the road to create the impression of a car accident.
He pointed out that the victim was found naked, his belongings taken from his bag, with his Ghanaian ECOWAS card discovered nearby.
The Abura Dunkwa Police command was promptly notified, leading to officers arriving at the scene. The mutilated body was then transported to the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital Mortuary for autopsy and preservation.
The family has been informed of the tragic incident, and the police have initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the young man’s untimely death.
