A man believed to be in his early 50s has allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself on a scaffold in the house he lived in at a suburb called Top 10″,\u00a0 near the Volta River Authority (VRA)’s Kpone Thermal Plant at Tema in the early hours of Monday.<\/p>\n
The man, whose name was given as Kofi Emmanuel, was a mason\u00a0who hailed from Kpando in the Volta Region.<\/p>\n
According to neighbours who spoke to Citi News<\/strong>, Kofi Emmanuel lived together with a woman, who he fathered three children with until recently when they separated due to a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n According to a co-tenant, Michael Gozah, the deceased was very reserved and lived peacefully with him and other neighbors in the vicinity.<\/p>\n Mr. Gozah said the deceased took to drinking after he and the wife separated.<\/p>\n “He is a very calm man and lived very peacefully with all of us until he\u00a0unfortunately passed on this morning.

We are really surprised at this unfortunate happening,” one resident said.<\/p>\n Officers from the EMEFS police station were at the scene,\u00a0 and have since conveyed the body to the police hospital for autopsy.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Elvis Washington\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A man believed to be in his early 50s has allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself on a scaffold in the house he lived in at a suburb called Top 10″,\u00a0 near the Volta River Authority (VRA)’s Kpone Thermal Plant at Tema in the early hours of Monday.
