In a tragic incident in Bimbilla, an 18-year-old man named Mbornlen Abass, also known as Agogo, reportedly took his own life while in police custody.
He had been arrested following accusations of theft amounting to GH¢2,000 made by Pinimkpel Nampar. Despite denying the allegations, Abass was detained overnight.
Sources indicate that a police officer, returning with food for Abass, discovered him unresponsive upon calling out to him.
Upon entering the cell, they found Abass’s body hanging from the ceiling, using a blanket. His remains were subsequently transferred to Bimbilla Hospital.
Officials from the Regional and Divisional Police Commands visited the scene, and the deceased has already been laid to rest, marking a sorrowful conclusion to this distressing event.
