Residents OF Adum in Kumasi, Ghana were on
Thursday morning greeted with the terrifying news
of a man jumping to his death from a tall building.
The young man from Amoaman near Barekese
jumped to his death from the third floor of a four-
storey building at Adum.
The victim, who was identified as Nana Osei aka
Naasei by the wife of his elder brother, Vida
Sarpong, was believed to be in his late 20s.
He jumped from the balcony of the building which
houses the Subin branch of the National Health
Insurance office, a church and several stores at
about 9:35am, an eyewitness, Benjamin Mireku
told DAILY GUIDE at the scene.
He disclosed that the victim hit one Dauda
Alhassan, a refuse collector, on his way down
before landing on the ground and crashing his
head to death, forcing shocked shoppers to flee in
panic.
The paper gathered that the victim had earlier
attended the funeral of one Isaac Osei at Asafo and
appeared tipsy shortly before the incident.
He died instantly after he jumped from the top
floor of the building when people were busily doing
their businesses in the boisterous area.
The refuse collector sustained some injuries and
was later taken to the hospital for treatment.
The police crime scene investigators were at the
scene to carry out preliminary investigations into
the incident.
They later carried away the body and deposited it
at a morgue.
Police spokesman Stg. Godwin Ahianyo described it
as a tragic incident, indicating that the death could
be very stressful for many people.
According to him, police investigations would focus
on how the man came to fall from the building to
determine whether it was suicide, accident or
murder.
The refuse collector, Dauda Alhassan, told us he
was co-operating with police investigators and his
thoughts were with the dead man's family.
It was learnt that the victim, an unemployed man,
was the son of Kwame Kwakye aka Apigy, the
Subin Constituency Chairman of the National
Democratic Congress (NDC).
What prompted the young man to end his life in
that awkward manner could not be immediately
ascertained.
The deceased did not leave behind any note
explaining why he decided to leave the world in
that dreadful manner. This however gave room for
speculation, with all sorts of theories being
propounded.
While some thought it was suicide, others
attributed the incident to accident caused by
drunkenness, since the deceased allegedly reeked of
alcohol.
Most people at the scene however linked his death
to the harsh economic situation in the country.
When we visited the scene, store keepers had
abandoned their wares just to catch a glimpse of
the deceased who was lying motionless in a pool of
blood.
The women among the thick crowd were seen
shedding tears for the deceased. People in the area
told the paper that they had not seen him in the
neighbourhood before.
"I was inside my store attending to a customer
when suddenly I heard a deafening sound. I
became terrified so I rushed outside only to find the
man lying in a pool of blood," a store keeper at the
area said.
The store keeper, who Pleaded to remain
anonymous, said he had not sighted the deceased
in the area before, noting that he was shocked
about the weird manner in which the deceased
chose to end his life.
