53 year old driver hangs himself at Ayensudo

Kwesi Atta popuparly known as Kobina O.B. aged 53 and driver is alleged to have hung himself at Ayensudo New Town in the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem municipality of the Central region on Saturday.

In an interview with the widow, Lydia Eghan, she said she left home around 6am for market to sell her fruits, leaving their two kids with the father (now deceased).

According to her, the kids, around 3pm went to her (the mother) at the market and told her their (kids) father had asked them to come to her for he (the father) was doing something and when he finishes, he would come for them at the market.

“In fact I was bit confused but later thought perhaps the kids were disturbing him hence sent them away from him because he had been sick for the past months,” the widow narrated.



She added, she closed from the market around 6pm and came home with the kids so after eating some mangoes she brought from the market with the kids and bathed the younger one age 21months, she decided to go and give the child to the father so that she could also prepare something for the supper and upon trying to open the door, then she realized the door was not opening so she applied more force to open the door only for her to see her husband’s lifeless body lying supine on the ground with piece of rope on his neck and a piece tied to the roofing.

Asked whether the husband, prior to his death showed any sign of someone who could commit such act, she said “no, he didn’t show anything like that……he got sick and we were all always thanking God that he’s healed so there was nothing else.”

An elder brother of the deceased who gave his name only as Chairman, also told Kojo Ata Kakrah Abrowah that he got a distressed call from some of the neighbors of the deceased brother around 6:30pm on Saturday only to go and see his younger brother lying down dead.

He said they quickly went to the police station to lodge a complaint and the police came to examined the scene and conveyed the body to the morgue for preservation.
