On Saturday, February 25, 2023 some residents of Mankessim nearly lynched a woman in her fifties who attempted to covertly bury her deceased spouse in a bush.
The woman had failed to locate relatives of Aggrey Coffie, her late husband who was a popular Lotto Agent whom she has had been staying for over 20 years.
Information from sources indicate the late husband contracted an undisclosed illness which she tried to get him healed after failing to locate any of his relatives but all efforts proved futile leading to his death.
With the help of some men she hired, they put the late deceased’s remains in a sack and tried burying him in the bush around 7:30 pm Saturday night.
But, some neighbours who had a tip-off busted the woman and nearly assaulted her.
Meanwhile, Kasapa FM’s Yaw Boagyan gathered from some neighbours that the deceased always got angry whenever he was asked of his roots, making it difficult for the poor wife to know any relations of his.
According to them, the deceased never talked to them anytime he came back from work for over 15 years of staying with him, as some believe he was a ghost living among them.
