Tragedy took another turn when news emerged that Akoumani Kwabena was discovered dead in a forest area.

The unfortunate incident was recounted by Hunter Baba Tunde, who came across human remains during his journey to the farm. The discovery, a human skull, prompted him to swiftly return home and notify the police about the finding.

Upon the police’s arrival at the site, the remains were identified as those of Akoumani Kwabena, now reduced to skeletal remains due to decomposition.

Nearby, his Ghana card, personal belongings, and a rope secured to a tree were also discovered.
