But his Auntie told him that she is currently not financially sound to get him enrolled in SHS so he should learn a skill. That is what might have triggered the depression leading to his untimely death.

“I told him, his mother had gone to Volta and that, he should exercise patience for her to return so we could deal with the issue, as I am also not in a position to support his education due to my poor health condition,” she told the reporter.
“He left the house about 6 am in the morning without informing me, so I called to find out where he has been after complaining earlier of being hungry. He told me he had gone to my aunt’s place at Nsuaem”.
“Unfortunately, I returned home to find out that he had locked the door to our room so I called him severally without any response. I then decided to look through the window with the help of a neighbor and unfortunately, I saw him hanged to death with a rope” Georgina Buabeng revealed.
