Suspended Church Member Commits Suicide

When the elders of the Seventh-Day of Theocracy Church at Akim Oda decided to suspend one of its members for fornication, little did they know that it would result in his death.

Isaac Antwi, 22, committed suicide by hanging himself in his room barely 24 hours after the church has suspended him for impregnating his 18-year-old girl friend.

The leader of the church, Rev. Azariah Forson told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the church suspended the deceased because they do not tolerate fornication among members.

The Akim Oda police confirmed the story and said they did not suspect any foul play.
