TV pole kills two children at Agona Duakwa in Central Region
Kwesi Nyamful and Kelvin Boakye |
Agona Duakwa, one of the major towns in the Agona East District in
the Central Region, was last Saturday thrown into a state of mourning
when two children were electrocuted by a metallic television pole.
The children were said to be playing around the TV pole after a
downpour around 12 p.m. when they were electrocuted at Zongo, a suburb
of the town.
They have been identified as Kelvin Boakye, five, a kindergarten
pupil of the Duakwa Catholic Basic School and Kwesi Nyamful, a nursery
pupil of the Jesus Love International School.
According to information gathered by the Daily Graphic, Boakye was
the first to be electrocuted but Nyamful, upon observing that Boakye had
become motionless, decided to pull his friend away but ended up being
electrocuted also.
Confirmation
The Agona East District Director of the National Disaster Management
Organisation (NADMO), Mr John Kuntu Blankson, who confirmed the incident
in an interview yesterday, said the two children were confirmed dead at
the Agona Duakwa Salvation Army Polyclinic.
The Swedru Government Hospital later carried out an autopsy after which the bodies were buried in the evening of the same day.
