Amid growing calls for justice, the Ghana Police Service has released a statement about the reported mysterious death of a 24-year-old woman at a Takoradi hotel during a work trip last month.
In the statement on Thursday, the police said the autopsy read in front of her family showed the cause of death was asphyxia (a condition that arises when the body is deprived of oxygen), and drowning, but that investigations into the case will still continue.

The Inspector General of Police (IGP) is also said to have reached out to the family yesterday to offer “an unqualified apology” following growing calls that the police had been silent on the matter.
“He assured them that the investigation into the incident is still ongoing and also informed them of the readiness of the Police to visit them at their convenience and update them on the investigation done so far,” the police said.
On social media, posts rather allege she was murdered. There’s a post attributed to her brother, which has been going around for days. There are also reports that CCTV cameras at the hotel had been dysfunctional on the night of the incident, leading many to believe that there’s more to the case.
