We are deeply saddened by the recent tragedy that has befallen the Dormaa Ahenkro community. The untimely passing of 19-year-old Abigail Kyeremaa, a student of Dormaa Senior High School, has sent shockwaves through the community and raised significant concerns.
According to reports, Abigail Kyeremaa's mother, Kyeremaa Matilda, accompanied by Nana Atuoni Gyabaah, reported to the Dormaa District Police station on the evening of April 9, 2024. Matilda conveyed that her daughter had experienced severe abdominal pains and it was later revealed that Abigail was pregnant and had sought medication from a certain Philip Addae in an attempt to terminate the pregnancy. Despite efforts to seek urgent medical attention at Dormaa Presbyterian Hospital, Abigail tragically succumbed to her condition.
The alleged perpetrator, Philip Addae, has been apprehended and detained pending further legal proceedings, and an active investigation into the circumstances surrounding Abigail Kyeremaa’s passing is underway.
This distressing incident has prompted heightened scrutiny over matters of reproductive health, abortion practices, and the broader implications for the welfare and safety of young individuals. It serves as a stark reminder of the complex and sensitive nature of reproductive health issues and the profound impact they can have on individuals and communities.
As the investigation unfolds, it is essential that all relevant parties cooperate fully to ensure that justice is served and that measures are taken to prevent similar tragedies in the future. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Abigail Kyeremaa during this difficult time.
