Kyekyewere accident: Family announces one-week observance date for policewoman
The one-week observance for Inspector Theresa Zampiaw, one of the three police officers who died in a ghastly accident at Kyekyewere, has been set for April 6, 2024.
The ceremony will take place at Marina Park, Ashaley Botwe, in Accra, from 6 am to 6 pm.
The accident occurred while the officers were on their way for police operational duties.
Information gathered indicated that the police officers were in a convoy heading towards Kwahu to ensure peace and security ahead of the Kwahu Easter celebrations.
Unfortunately, when the white Formed Police Unit (FPU) van reached Kyekyewere, one of its tyres burst, causing the vehicle to somersault and land in a ditch.
The force of the accident resulted in the doors of the vehicle coming off, leading to the ejection of the three officers.
They were rushed to the Suhum Government Hospital, where the three officers were confirmed dead.
General Corporal Samuel Jude Koufie, another officer travelling with them, sustained injuries and is currently receiving medical treatment.
