Ahafo Ano South District Chief Executive, Joseph Agemang Dapaah, confirmed this to Citi News, saying that particular area between Nyamebekyere and Nsuta had seen multiple car crashes.

[contextly_sidebar id=”pYsHoTIed7LQUBer0fhgzlhnKebNflyz”]Mr. Dapaah said the sand had been deposited there sometime in December 2017 for some roadworks.

“It was deposited around the Christmas, but they are using it so from time to time, they deposit more. For the contractor that was working on the road, the contract was given maybe in Accra or Kumasi and nobody informed me about it.”

“…but now they have removed the sand from the roadside – some volunteers from a nearby town called Nyamebekyere. So many accidents occur at the spot. It is because Ebony is a star that is why people are raising alarm. Many people have died over there,” the DCE said.

Ebony, whose real name is Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng, was returning from Sunyani after visiting her mother who had returned from the UK, when the Jeep she was travelling in crashed into railings on the road edge of the road.

Ebony was travelling with three other people when the accident occurred, killing everyone but the driver.

Police in their preliminary investigations revealed that, the car collided with an oncoming VIP bus, when their driver tried to avoid a heap of sand in their lane.

On reaching a section of the road between Nyamebekyere and Nsuta, there was a heap of sand in the lane of the Jeep which was being used for the road maintenance, and the driver in trying to avoid running into the sand, swerved onto the opposite lane and grazed the nearside portion of the bus and plunged into the railings at the edge of the road, killing the three other occupants identified as Francisca Nkansah Kuri aged 27 years, Priscilla Opoku Kwarteng [Ebony], and Lance Corporal Vondee Francis Atsu, aged 29 years.

Commissioning the new branch, Dr. Nduom encouraged the people to see the bank as an indigenous bank, that is there to help the Ghanaian economy and help develop their financial capabilities.

[contextly_sidebar id=”vfdCJMk5rsIk55kpHOLXXIji9UZYZyX1″]”GN Bank is a local bank, fully owned by Ghanaians. Our intention is to use the bank to help the people of Ghana. I must also let everyone know that anyone who intends to come for loans must also plan to repay because the loans we offer are from the savings of other people, so please use the monies for profitable business that will help you repay”.

“The bank is relatively young, but we have already gone past the 270 branches, and now the largest networked bank in Ghana.  We are hoping to hit 300 branches nationwide.  We are hoping in the future to be the bank that bails out the Ghana government in times of recession and financial difficulties. We are building a strong financial institution that will rival all other banks”.

Welcoming Dr. Nduom and the bank to the town, the Chief of Mankranso, Nana Osafradu Amankwantia, thanked Dr. Nduom for remembering that the people of Mankranso also deserve a good bank.

”I was amazed at the pace of work put into the construction of the bank. Your workers are so courteous and respect customers of which I have a personal experience. I urge all to support the bank, to save their monies in the bank. It is very refreshing that a Ghanaian is ready to do business and rub shoulders with the foreign banks”

”I urge you to please consider doing business with the bank we have here. One refreshing thing about GN Bank is that, they put up their own building so it means they are going to be here for a long time” he said.

Dr. Nduom and Nana Osafradu Amankwantia joined hands to officially commission the bank, which will serve Mankranso and its neighbouring communities such as Kunsu, Pokukrom and Beposo.

In a show of appreciation, Dr. Nduom acknowledged the first customer of GN Bank, Mankranso, for having the trust and conviction in GN Bank to open an account with the new branch.

He thus thanked Mr. Akwasi Appiah, a police officer and rewarded him with a prize.
