A
piece
of
sad
news
from
Kasoa
confirms
the
death
of
Gideon
Adu-Boakye,
a
dedicated
officer
with
the
Ghana
Prisons
Service
stationed
at
Nsawam.
As
reported,
Gideon
was
brutally
lynched
to
death
in
Kasoa
Iron
City,
a
suburb
in
the
Central
Region.
According
to
sources,
Gideon
had
returned
home
to
visit
his
family
in
Kasoa
last
Saturday.
He
left
home
the
next
day
which
was
Sunday
and
ever
since
then
all
attempts
to
reach
out
to
him
proved
futile.
Alarmed
by
his
absence,
the
family
lodged
a
report
with
the
Ngleshie
Amanfro
police
after
he
failed
to
return
later
that
day.
After
a
thorough
investigation,
Adu-Boakye’s
lifeless
body
was
discovered
the
following
day
in
a
gutter
near
the
Hope
of
Restoration
School
junction
in
Kasoa.
Residents
claim
they
heard
the
officer’s
cries
for
help
late
at
night,
as
he
desperately
screamed
that
he
was
a
prison
officer,
but
the
mob
ignored
his
pleas.
