The deceased, who sustained burns on his body was pronounced dead on arrival at the El-Shiva Hospital in Bawdie.

Chief Inspector Foster Berko, Bogoso Station Officer, who disclosed this in an interview with the Ghana News Agency, said on October 11, at about 1330 hours, the deceased and his master traveled from Wassa Akropong to fix glass windows at the top floor of an uncompleted story building that served as a guest house.

According to him, when they arrived, Togah’s master asked him to work on one side of the building, while he completed the other part.

Chief Inspector Berko said the deceased then went for an iron bar to enable him to execute the work properly, and in the process, he got electrocuted by the iron bar, which accidentally touched a high tension electric cable that was close to the uncompleted building they were working on.

The Station Officer said Togah was sent to the El-Shiva hospital after the incident, but he passed away shortly.

He said the body has been deposited at the same Hospital’s morgue for autopsy.

Narrating the incident to journalists, an eyewitness said, “a kenkey seller during the downpour got electrocuted when she tried to step into the rain to cover her stuff.”

She was said to have “remained stiff and unconscious for over an hour immediately she stepped into the electrically charged gushing water. Though a police man gathered the strength to pull her out, he also got electrocuted in the process and stiffened before he could get out with the Kenney seller,” this eyewitness added.

All the five victims according to reports were rushed to the SDA Clinic at the Takoradi Market Circle for treatment.

The point where electrically charged cables got in touch with the gushing water is yet to be known, though some suspect it might have been caused by the many illegal connections around the market.

Mr. Dankwa is reported to have used software in diagnosing patients and surf the internet for medication.

According to the Police, he also ordered monies from his patients immediately to purchase the drugs he found on the internet.

But his patients began raising eyebrows on his professionalism because all his prescriptions were given in single doses.

22 people have already been victims.

He appeared before the Sekondi Circuit court on the 16th of May and pleaded not guilty but he was however granted bail on a sum of GHC 100,000.

The Western Regional Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Police Service, ASP Olivia Awurabena Adiku who spoke to Citi News said she was satisfied that at least, his patients did not report cases of complications from the diagnosis and prescription given them.

She advised the general public to patronize the hospitals in the municipality, both government and private.

“We have approved hospitals both government and private health facilities and they should patronize such places instead of buying drug from people they don’t know where they come from,” she stated.

According to her, “although the doctors will ask you to go to the laboratory before they know what is really wrong with you.”
