A recent incident at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) involved a student named Kwadwo Asare Konadu Gyamfi, who was saved from a suicide attempt by his fellow students.

Gyamfi, reportedly a medical student, was seen in a video shared by The KNUST Voice, a social media page focusing on campus events, hanging from a balcony of an 8-story hostel block on campus.

Fortunately, his colleagues acted swiftly and managed to hold onto him, ultimately pulling him to safety by dislodging the balcony.

Following the circulation of the video, a purported suicide note that Gyamfi had left behind was also shared on social media. In the note, he expressed condolences to his parents, siblings, and friends, explaining that his decision had been a difficult one to make but had ultimately become his last resort.

He put his situation down to depression which pushed him into seeing nothing to live for. “I’ve been seeing demons … and actually heard one speak,” he wrote in portions of the note sighted by GhanaWeb.

GhanaWeb is unable to independently verify the authenticity of the said note.

Neither the school administration nor the hostel operators have commented or respeonded to GhanaWeb enquiries.

The full note as shared on Twitter is below:
