Dzindziso Accident in Kadjebi District Claims One Life

Kadjebi: Mr. Moses Komla, a Kadjebi-based carpenter, died on the spot when his motorbike crashed into a stationary cargo truck with registration number WR 3274 C parked at Dzindziso, a farming community in the Oti Region.

According to Ghana News Agency, Mr. Komla, who was carrying his friend, Assistant Station Officer (ASO) Edward Amedy of the Kadjebi District Command of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), was returning from Dodi-Papase, another farming community in the Kadjebi District, when the incident occurred between 1830 and 1900 hours on Sunday, April 6. Mr. Hamza Lucman, an Assemblyman for Dzindziso Electoral Area, stated in an interview that he received a distress call about the accident that night.

Upon arrival at the scene, Mr. Lucman found the deceased lying on the ground, while ASO Amedy was also on the ground but conscious. He mentioned that the police, with the support of residents, transported the injured to St. Mary Theresa Catholic Hospital, Dodi-Papase, while the deceased was taken to the hospital's morgue.

Mr. Luckman suggested that the accident might have resulted from the cargo truck, as the driver had parked the faulty vehicle in the middle of the road without any road sign. Superintendent Frank Nana Asomaning, the Kadjebi District Police Commander, confirmed the accident and stated that investigations are ongoing.
