Abdul Rahman Acquah, a 22-year-old mobile money merchant, is said to have tragically taken his own life in Assin Kruwa, located in the Assin South District.

The incident occurred after he reported the loss of GHS3,500 which went missing.

On Tuesday, June 8, at around 3:00 PM, Abdul Rahman Acquah went missing and extensive searches were conducted within the community and district, but he could not be located despite efforts from officers from the Kakum wildlife division.

Ultimately, the wildlife officers discovered his body in a dense forest. He had hanged himself on a tree using a copper wiring cable.

The police were immediately notified and they arrived at the scene. The body was then transferred to the morgue at Abura Dunkwa Hospital for autopsy and preservation.

The hospital's initial reports indicated no signs of physical violence on the body. Abdul Rahman Acquah's uncle, Kwaku Quansah, shared that the deceased had been under pressure as his boss demanded the missing money and threatened to have him arrested.

Mr Quansah suggested that the tragic outcome may have been a result of frustration.
