A 40-year-old man, Kwabena Tandoh, popularly known as “Kwabena Ala-u,” has been discovered dead under unusual circumstances in a bush at Assin Bosomadwe in the Assin South District of the Central Region.

Originally from Assin Bosomadwe but residing in Assin Tomfokro, Kwabena had been seeking spiritual healing for a swollen neck at a prayer camp in Akrampa.

His uncle, Abusuapanin Amponsah, revealed that Kwabena had been at the prayer centre for some time but suddenly vanished while undergoing treatment. A report was made to the police, and a search party was mobilized, but efforts to locate him proved futile until his body was found.

Abusuapanin Amponsah was taken aback upon discovering his nephew’s lifeless body in the bush, lying face down and partially dressed in black jeans trousers with a belt.

The discovery has unsettled the community, with some farmers and locals stating that they noticed a strong, foul smell from the bush two days before the body was found.

Kwabena, who had been separated from his wife, leaves behind two children.

Meanwhile, the Assin South police have commenced investigations to determine the cause of his death.
