A tragic accident occurred on Sunday, September 6, 2026, when a canoe capsized on Volta Lake near Isaka Kura, a neighborhood of Yeji in the Pru East District of the Bono East Region. The canoe, operated by Promise, was carrying six individuals along with a tricycle and a cow. The cow's sudden distress inside the canoe alarmed two passengers, leading them to jump into the lake.
Unfortunately, 21-year-old Mathias Kpodovia, one of the passengers, did not survive the incident. Promise quickly alerted community members, who formed a search party to locate the missing person. After an extensive search, Mathias's body was recovered from the lake and taken to Matthias Hospital for further examination.
