A 33-year-old electrician and Okada rider, identified as Gideon, has drowned in the Adjei River at the Nurses Quarters area of Domeabra in the Obom Constituency of the Ga South Municipality, Greater Accra Region.
According to reports, the deceased lost his life while attempting to rescue a 17-year-old boy who had drowned in the river.
Although Gideon successfully saved the boy, he reportedly became trapped in the water and subsequently drowned.
Speaking in an interview with Nana Ansah, an eyewitness, Kwesi Godfred, said Gideon was a well-known electrician in the community who bravely entered the river to save the teenager.
He explained that after rescuing the boy, Gideon encountered difficulties in the river and was unable to make it out safely.
According to him, the deceased’s body was retrieved on the morning of June 10, 2026, at Amamfrom, popularly known as “Nsuo Ano.”
He added that the body had visible bruises on the face.
Meanwhile, Madam Comfort Adjei, an aunty of the deceased, has appealed to the public, benevolent individuals, and organizations to support the family in caring for the children left behind by Gideon.
According to her, the family heavily depended on the deceased for their livelihood, and his sudden demise has created a significant burden on them.
She therefore called on the public to come to their aid to help raise and support the children through this difficult period.
