Shock in Asante Akyem Agogo as Apentenyinase Assembly Member dies in apparent suicide

Dickson Kwabena Osei, Assembly Member for the Agogo Apentenyinase Electoral Area in the Asante Akyem North Municipality of the Ashanti Region, has reportedly died in an apparent suicide, leaving the community in mourning.

Osei, a young and promising leader in his early 30s, was found hanging at his home around 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 7. The exact circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear, prompting a police investigation to determine the cause.

Confirming the incident to Citi News on Thursday, January 8, the Presiding Member of the municipality, Frank Gyamfi, expressed shock and sadness over the loss.

“I spoke with Kwabena just three days ago,” Gyamfi said. “He seemed well. They are saying it is a suicide, but whether it was self-inflicted or involved another person, we cannot confirm at this time.”

Osei’s body has been deposited at the Agogo Mortuary as authorities continue their investigation to clarify the circumstances surrounding the tragic event.
