A 34-year-old teacher seeking re-election in the Teberebie electoral area in Prestea, Western Region, has drowned in a river connecting Aklika on Monday, December 4.
Manasseh Addison Sackey, popularly known as Teacher Obour, who taught at Teberebie M/A Junior High School, sadly passed away while on his way to campaign in nearby villages.
It’s quite a coincidence that both Teacher Obour and the former assembly member who competed against him four years ago faced such a tragic fate. It’s really heartbreaking.
It’s quite unfortunate that the deceased was traveling with about five others, as shared by Nana Esi Brew Monney from Prestea FM.
Despite warnings from his campaign crew to abstain from the journey, the deceased insisted it was a short distance and that he could return promptly.
The canoe, carrying the teacher and five others,tipped over in the middle of the river which lead to the death of Teacher Obour.
The whereabouts of the four individuals who drown with him are yet to be known.
