The footbridge
A 34-year-old woman has lost her life after slipping from a footbridge into a drain at Aburukutoaso, a suburb of Mampong, during heavy rainfall on Monday.
The victim, Felicia Asamoah, who hails from Bosofour near Mampong, reportedly fell into the drain around 8:00 p.m. on April 20, 2026, while trying to cross the bridge.
According to an eyewitness, she lost her balance on the wet surface and was swept away, leading to her drowning.
Rescue efforts were immediately launched, but she could not be found until the next morning, Tuesday, April 21, when her body was discovered in a pool of water.
Confirming the incident to Citi News, the Assembly Member for the Aburukutoaso Electoral Area, Alexander Asamoah, revealed that this is the second similar incident in the area.
He appealed to authorities to take swift action to prevent future tragedies.
“I urge the relevant authorities to address the drainage issue and take steps to avoid a recurrence,” he said.
The body has since been deposited at the Mampong Government Hospital morgue for autopsy, while police have initiated investigations into the matter.
