The Chief and Elders of Enyan Asempanyin in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam Central Region have disputed the assertion that the community expelled a woman who went missing and was later discovered in a pit latrine.

Per the Chief and the Elders' account, the woman was reportedly transferred from the Enyan Asempanyin Community by her own family in order to receive the proper medical attention.

Also, in an interview with Kasapa News the Ebusuapanyin of Enyan Asempanyin, Buabeng Essel, explained that the victim's landlord, Yaa Prah, rather ejected her from her residence, forcing her family to transport her to her homeland, and not the Chief, who expelled her from the village.

He on behalf of the Chief and Elders of the town appealed to the general public to disregard the claim that they banished the woman for ‘drowning’ in a pit latrine.

Background

If will be recalled that Kasapa News Yaw Boagyan reported on August 31st, 2022 that a woman who had gone missing for three days had been found in a public pit latrine at Enyan Asempenyin in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam District of the Central Region.

She was rescued after a young man who had gone to use the public toilet heard the voice of a woman screaming for help.

He’s said to have rushed and informed the community members about the incident following which a distress call was placed to the Breman Essiam Fire Station after which officers arrived at the scene, and broke the hole at the top to create a wider opening for her to come out.

The woman who claims she was traveling was rescued with her bag containing money.

The Fire Commander for Ajumako Enyan Essiam District, DO3 Augustine Cudjoe in an interview with Kasapa News Yaw Boagyan expressed on how it was possible for the woman to ‘drown’ in the 12-feet pit latrine since the hole is narrow for her to go through.

She was given a good bath after she was removed as she was smeared with feces.

The woman is currently receiving treatment at the Ajumako Government Hospital, while the Ajumako District Police Command commences an investigation.
