The embattled Executive Chairman of Constructora OAS Ghana Ltd., the company responsible for overseeing the controversial Saglemi Affordable Housing project, Andrew Clocanas, has reportedly passed away, as reported by ABC News.

According to a source, Andrew Clocanas was discovered lifeless at his residence in Airport Residential Apartment, possibly due to a heart attack, as he was found in his bathroom near a shower.

The source also indicated that his body has been transported to the Lashibi funeral home, and law enforcement officers have visited the residence to conduct interviews.

Further developments on this matter are anticipated.

It is worth noting that, at the time of his passing, Mr. Clocanas was still on trial in connection with the Saglemi Affordable Housing Project.
