Bees invade Achiase, kill 81-year-old woman
An 81-year-old woman has reportedly died following a bee attack at Achiase in the Atwima Nwabiagya North District of the Ashanti Region.
An 81-year-old woman, Nana Afia Achiaa, perished in Achiase, Ashanti Region, after a bee attack on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. A resident, Kwame Wiredu, disclosed on Ghanakoma morning show on Akoma 87.9FM that the bees had been causing disturbances in the community for about a year. The incident occurred around 5:30 pm while the deceased was outside her Achiase palace, engaging in conversations.
Emergency responders were delayed in reaching her, and she succumbed to her injuries at a nearby hospital. This isn't the first occurrence of such an event in Achiase; in 2025, a similar swarm terrorized residents for three days, prompting community leaders to perform rituals in an attempt to pacify the local deities.
