52-year-old spiritualist and farmer found dead at Assin Amoabeng
Residents of Assin Amoabeng, a community near Nyankumase Ahenkro in the Assin South District of the Central Region, woke up on Monday to discover that a 52-year-old spiritualist and farmer, commonly referred to as Alhaji Nagode, was dead under circumstances suspected to be suicide.
On Monday morning, the residents of Assin Amoabeng, a village in the Assin South District of Ghana's Central Region, were confronted with the tragic news that a 52-year-old spiritualist and farmer, known as Alhaji Nagode, had taken his own life. The local name for the deceased was Baba Ibrahim, who was renowned for his advocacy against illegal mining and other environmentally harmful activities in the area.
According to witnesses, Baba Ibrahim was found hanging in his home at around 7:10 a.m., mere minutes after his 14-year-old daughter had left for school to drop off her five-year-old sibling. The daughter had been entrusted by her father with the task of fetching food money upon her return.
Upon her daughter's return some thirty minutes later, she discovered her father lying lifeless. The girl immediately raised the alarm, prompting neighbors to rush to the scene and discover the tragic scene. Baba Ibrahim, a respected figure in the community, was reportedly well-versed in the dangers of illegal mining and other environmentally destructive practices.
Although his wife was no longer present in the household, the sudden loss of Alhaji Nagode has left both his family and the community deeply shaken. The police have now launched an investigation to determine the exact circumstances that led to the spiritualist and farmer's tragic death.
