A man believed to be about 38 years old has died at the Tema Station at Tudu in Accra.

The incident occurred on Thursday, June 30, 2016, at 6:30am.

According to an eyewitness, Isaac, also known as Libyan Burger, who spoke with Chief Jerry Forson on Accra100.5FM, the deceased – a known cocaine addict and petty trader – had visited the public toilet at the station Thursday morning but toll collectors realised he looked weak. After his prolonged stay in the lavatory, some young men were mobilised to fetch him out. He was left in the car park, where he died moments later.

He said the body had begun to swell and was already giving off a bad odour.

However, a policeman who happened to be passing by, arrested one Ataa Papa, one of the men involved in conveying the body from the toilet and has been whisked away in a police vehicle to an unknown police station along with his twins – whom he refused to leave in anyone’s care.
