A tragic motorcycle accident in Kojokrom, a suburb of the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis in the Western Region, has claimed the lives of a married man and a woman believed to be his girlfriend.
The incident occurred in the early hours of August 18, 2025, at Nkansah Junction.
The victims, Nathaniel Afful, popularly known as Sofo, and the unidentified woman, were riding a motorbike when they collided head-on with a commercial bus approaching from the opposite direction.
Eyewitnesses say both riders suffered critical injuries.
Afful died at the scene, while the woman, who was riding pillion, was taken to the hospital but passed away shortly after arrival.
Assembly Member for Kojokrom, Philip Nkrumah, confirmed the details in an interview.
“When I arrived at the scene, his lifeless body was lying by the roadside. The lady was still breathing and was rushed to the hospital. We then invited the police to begin investigations,” he said.
Community members claim Afful had been repeatedly warned by his family about his relationship with the woman, which they believed was inappropriate.
According to reports, those warnings went unheeded.
The emotional weight of the tragedy was felt deeply when Afful’s mother arrived at the accident scene.
“When his mother came and saw his lifeless body, she was angry and started hitting him, saying he was too stubborn and never listened to advice,” Mr. Nkrumah added.
Police investigations are currently underway.
