His body was discovered without any visible bruises or cuts on his body.

In March this year, he reportedly wrote a note disclosing his mobile money PIN and instructed that in the event of his death, 20 percent of his funds should be given to his sister, with the remainder distributed according to his instructions.

Friends also indicated that he could go days without eating, heightening concerns about his mental health before his unfortunate death.

“His body was intact; there were no visible stab wounds. He was found with his bag around his neck and his mobile phone beside him near a forest close to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). His body was in a state of decomposition and was therefore buried soon after discovery,” he noted.

According to him eyewitnesses said he often exhibited strange behaviour and could not engage in meaningful conversations.



"A friend of the deceased revealed that his behaviour had become increasingly strange, recalling that he once attempted to leave home unexpectedly but was stopped by friends. He was often seen loitering around areas such as Santasi, Effiduase, and Ejisu," he said.
