    I will urged the police to look and dig deeper. There may be a killer on the loose. Her father is a political figure, hence there is no shortage to friendly (enemies) who will like to do them in. Do your Job Ghana police.

    Spiritual? Eiiiii the dwarf!

  • ODIKRO 7 years ago

    If she wrote the note herself then what is the brilliance in it. I understand why she failed. I wonder how she managed entry in the first place. Is this the level of education Mahama left you with?

  • Kwabena Kwabena 7 years ago

    What has this got to do with Mahama? If you are sent to school to learn and you spend your time gallivanting, please don't blame the president when you fail. As for you Ghanaians you blame the even constipation on the preside ...

    Idiotic tribalism. Every misfortune is attributed to President Mahama. What fools we have in this country. How can we develop with such mediocrity in our midst. If it is good it is an Akan. If bad it must be pepeni or norther ...

  • Tundey 7 years ago

    Spiritual? What kinda nonsense is that. Somebody must investigate her death and stop blaming it on spiritualism.

  • Bongo System 7 years ago

    Everything in Ghana has a "spiritual" cause! Atta-Mills did not believe in medical treatment but rather T.B. Joshua. When the cedi was falling, Mahama's guru, Bishop Duncan was the real expert expected to fix it not any Harva ...

    You forgot to add that Nana Addo sought the "help" of pastor Owusu Bempah during the 2016 election? Ask President Akufo Addo why he sat or stood or danced during the NPP Victory Thanksgiving anytime Owusu Bempah ordered him t ...

    Ask the father NPP MP. He has knowledge of the situation. But will deny.

  • Rara 7 years ago

    May God forgive you for the abomination you spew on a father at a time like this. You don't even know the man!!!

  • SAA 7 years ago

    You are an idiot to blame the bereaved father for his daughter's death, all because you're an NDC sympathiser. How can we unite and move forward as a nation when fools like you will neither change nor shut their stinking mout ...

    The police should compare her excercise, note writings with this one to see if this hands was truely her handwriting

  • asem 7 years ago

    @ BB, I think you are right.

  • Anowa 7 years ago

    She could have written the note under fear and instructions of her killers not knowing it was for murder purpose. The police need to do some serious and painstaking investigation. If the parents were also the cause as per the ...

  • De Analyst 7 years ago

    I do not know the lady in question but the note seem suspicious. First off the police need compare her handwriting which they probably already have. 2nd ask her parents what she is "sorry" about? Is she pregnant? Has she cont ...

    Good contribution, Jackson. Similar concerns crossed my mind while reading the story. Are students examination reports published openly like a bulletin?

  • Constructivist 7 years ago

    In the university, academic reports are published on the school's noticeboard with the student ID number. It's is the norm, I don't know if anyone has a problem with that!

  • Uknown 7 years ago

    It is a problem and uncalled for.

  • Wonua 7 years ago

    Yes KNUST used to display the list of students who have failed various subjects on their notice boards of the faculty for the perusal of the general public . This was in the 80's and 90's . I'm not sure if the practice perta ...

    This is heartbreaking, but one how she got in, in the first place? Was she qualified or was she pushed in?

    Failing first year shouldn't happen for an average student admitted on merit.

  • Kaakie 7 years ago

    Spiritual paaaa. Lies upon lies. Take her exams script n check the handwriting. Gh police shd investigate n stop this childish stuffs. Evil spirits n demons r surrefing paaa, evrything is them.

  • Abdulai Mahamadu 7 years ago

    As for Ghanaians, we have thinking problem.How could people sit at their luxury say things like that.Who told them or what evidence shows that the girl died as a result of failing one of her course subject?,lazy thinners.

  • Fine boy 7 years ago

    So where were her roommate before this sad incident? Because looking at this article is not staying a lone.

  • Joe Lartey 7 years ago

    Ghana police is investigating,it's not suicide,it can be murder

  • KWASI IN EUROPE 7 years ago

    If this is the handwriting of a university student then I am surprised indeed. This should be the handwriting of a child in class 3.

  • Nii 7 years ago

    I just thought exactly that. In fact I had CLASS 3 in my mind.

  • Lawyer Yapei 7 years ago

    Are u pple sure De note is her hand writing..bcos wat at all will push her to do dis,papa police do ur job

  • Osei Assibey 7 years ago

    I don't expect a good university undergrad to make this simple grammatical error in her suicide note. "been" . The police should also check the handwriting.

  • Gibralta 7 years ago

    Point on OseiAssibey.This could be a forged note.

  • Kipyu 7 years ago

    You don't expect but they do as evidenced in the note. Any way any person willing to die could defy the rules of grammar to hasten to her death. Cry not over her grammatical slip but cry that we as a nation have lost a lady ...

  • JK 7 years ago

    A brilliant student as she has been described, would have used 'being'.

    This note does not fit.

  • Derick 7 years ago

    Handwriting is suspect. How can an undergrad substitute "being" with "been"?
    Looks like the note was hastily written. CID needs to be all over this case.

  • John Akim Oda 7 years ago

    The father used her daughter as a sacrifice to win the seat for NPP and Akufo Addo. There are more death coming honestly. Npp used sacrifice of human beings

  • Odeneho 7 years ago

    This is hard to believe. The police should try as much as possible to investigate this matter and if there's any cctv camara in the school. All those must be checked. Ghana is no more trusted country as it used to be.

  • Yakubu 7 years ago

    Is this the handwriting and grammar of a University student? I doubt it. An 8-year old in JHS can write better. I suspect, she did not write that note. It looks too suspicious to me.
