We regret to report a tragic incident involving Lance Corporal Francis Adusei of Service Workshop, who allegedly shot himself with a service rifle at his residence in Atomic Police barracks, Kwabenya, Accra.
According to a report by MyNewsGh, the distressing event occurred on Monday, May 6, 2024, at approximately 8:45 am. Neighbours recounted hearing a gunshot emanating from Block 3 room No. 10B, where the deceased was residing.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that the Police officer had used an AK47 assault rifle bearing the number GHGP/58NHQ/PU/AZ6303 – 205 to inflict the fatal injury. Blood stains were evident on the bed-spread and the floor, with an empty shell and one round of AK-47 ammunition found in his bedroom. Furthermore, it was noted that the door was locked from the inside.
Following the incident, the Lance Corporal was promptly transported to the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission Hospital (GAEC) for urgent medical attention, where he was stabilized. Subsequently, he was transferred to the emergency ward of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, where he initially displayed signs of improvement. Regrettably, despite efforts to save his life, he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
In light of this unfortunate event, the body of Lance Corporal Francis Adusei has been respectfully deposited at the Police Hospital mortuary for preservation pending autopsy.
Our thoughts and condolences are with the family, friends, and colleagues of Lance Corporal Francis Adusei during this difficult time.
