A lifeless body of a man has been discovered on the streets of Koforidua, Abogri in the Eastern Region.

The circumstances surrounding his death remain uncertain, but there are unconfirmed reports suggesting that he might have been subjected to a lynching.

The man's body was found naked, with a piece of cloth concealing his private parts, and his leg was inexplicably chained to a sign post.

Adding to the mystery, a tricycle suspected to belong to him was found burnt a short distance away from the scene.

The local Assemblyman for the area, Sowah, recounted that he was alerted to the situation early in the morning and subsequently called the police for assistance in retrieving the body.

“I was called early morning to come and see the body and call the police to come and pick him up,” said Sowah. “I cannot confirm if he indeed was lynched,” he added.

However, he was unable to provide any definitive information about who might have been responsible for the alleged lynching, stating that he couldn't confirm the nature of the man's demise.

The authorities promptly intervened, and the police took custody of the body, depositing it at the St. Joseph Hospital in Effiduase.

Investigations into the incident have been initiated to shed light on the circumstances leading to the man's tragic death.

Some residents, choosing to remain anonymous, speculated that the man could have been lynched due to suspicions of cable theft.

However, these claims remain unverified as investigations are underway to determine the actual cause and culprits behind the unfortunate event.
