Ivorian refugee dies at Eagle Star Refugee Camp

Half Assini (W/R), Aug. 25, GNA — A 36-year old Ivorian refugee, Innocent Juile Gogonie, died after a short illness at the Eagle Star Refugee Camp at Elubo.

Mr Kwasi Nipa Kwame, Jomoro District NADMO Coordinator told the GNA that the deceased has been buried after the necessary funeral rites at the Elubo cemetery.

Mr Kwame said the deceased reported sick early this month and was admitted for treatment at the clinic of the International Organization for Migration at Elubo.

He said the deceased, however, refused to take the medicine prescribed for him and instead chose to take herbal medicine.

Mr Kwame said that the deceased health condition worsened after leaving the hospital and eventually died on August 11.
