An 18-year-old man has allegedly hanged himself while in a police cell in Bimbilla, in the Nanumba North District of the Northern region.
The young man, identified as Mbornlen Abass, popularly known as Agogo, was arrested by the police on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, after being accused by Pinimkpel Nampar of stealing GH¢2,000 from him.
Despite denying the theft, Abass was locked in a police cell overnight.
Sources indicate that an officer went to buy food for the accused, and upon returning, repeatedly called out to him with no response. When the officer opened the cell, he discovered Abass’s lifeless body hanging from the ceiling using a blanket.
The body was later transported to the Bimbilla Hospital for preservation.
The Regional and Divisional Police Commanders visited the scene on Wednesday, June 27.
The deceased has since been buried.
