Aklorbortu, Elubo
What could have passed as a normal stop over for passengers to rest and stretch turned bizarre, when a 60-year-old passenger visited the rest room only to be found dead in the toilet.
Oduro Yaw Edu, who was travelling on the bus from Abidjan to Kumasi, attended to nature’s call when the bus stopped at Elubo last Tuesday at about 2:10 p.m., but when he failed to join the bus after the expiry of the rest period, a search party made up of some passengers and the driver found him seated on the toilet, motionless.
According to the Western Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Ms Olivia Adiku, the driver, Mr N. Kweku Salifu, reported the incident to the police.
Ms Adiku said the body had been deposited at the government hospital at Half Assini.
The driver told the police that the bus stopped at Elubo for the passengers to rest but it was found later on that one of the passengers was missing.
Ms Adiku said the police were doing everything possible to ensure that the family of the deceased was contacted to establish his identity.
She appealed to the people who might be expecting a family member on that bus to contact the police administration in the Western Region for identification.
