Awuteykope: 53-year-old farmer found dead under bridge

A 53-year-old farmer, Addo Wayo, was on Wednesday found dead under a bridge at Awuteykope in the North Tongu District of the Volta Region.

The incident has sparked concern among residents and family members over the circumstances surrounding his death.

Wayo, who is believed to have been on his way to the farm at the time, was discovered by passers-by and some relatives.

According to Geoffrey Madugu, a cousin of the deceased, the body was later retrieved and transported to a private hospital morgue at Asikuma by family members and residents after police allegedly failed to respond promptly to the scene.

He expressed disappointment at what he described as a lack of urgency on the part of the police.  

“The family expected the police to work judiciously, but they told us they did not have a working vehicle to attend to the scene,” he said.
