MAN FOUND IN ROOM THREE DAYS AFTER HIS DEATH

-

A man believed to be in his early 50s known as Alfred Owusu, was yesterday found dead in his room at Adoato Ship Mu, a suburb of Kumasi. 

The man is suspected to have died about three days before he was found by the wife of his landlord, Madam Victoria Gyamera in a state of decomposition and producing unbearable stench. 

The wife of the landlord told Ashanti Today that Mr. Owusu is believed to have died from an epileptic attack in the room where he lives alone, as he was a known epilepsy patient. 

According to her, the body was found leaning against his bed with foam oozing from the mouth. 

She noted that the man came to stay in the house about two years ago with occasional visits by his sister.   

Madam Gyamera said early yesterday, she smelled a bad stench in the house and mistook it to be the result of a dead mouse.

 However, after a thorough search in the house, she could not trace the stench to any dead rodent. 

Madam Gyamera said she decided to find out how Mr. Owusu was faring because it had been long since she saw him in the house. 

She said it was upon opening the door to his room that she saw the man dead with the body decomposing. 

Madam Gyamera said a report was then made to the Sofoline Police who later came for the body.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency whic...

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously milit...
