A 45-year-old farmer, identified as Yaw Kweebo, has reportedly drowned in the River Aherisu at Aherisu in the Atwima Mponua District of the Ashanti Region.

Speaking to the media, the Assembly Member for the Aherisu Electoral Area, Mr. Yussif Sullemana, disclosed that the deceased left home on Friday but failed to return. Concerned family members reported the matter to him the following day, after which he advised them to lodge an official complaint with the Nhyinahin Police.

According to Mr. Sullemana, on Monday morning, some residents who were heading to their farms noticed an object floating in the River Aherisu and immediately informed members of the community. He said he, together with his committee members, traditional leaders and other residents, proceeded to the scene.

Before retrieving the body, the traditional leaders performed customary rites by pouring libation. A volunteer later swam into the river and discovered that the body was that of Yaw Kweebo.

Mr. Sullemana indicated that the Nhyinahin Police have been informed of the incident and that the community will cooperate fully with the police in their investigations.

The deceased, who was a farmer, is survived by two children.
