The National Democratic Congress (NDC)
Women’s Organizer of the Yapei-Kusawgu Constituency, Martha Alhassan,
who incessantly drunk alcohol after the announcement of the death of President Mills, has died under bizarre circumstances.
The
45-year-old teacher of Buipe Local Authority (LA) Primary School, who
had four children, according to relations, starved herself and took to
boozing to mourn the ex-president,
She was
found dead near a
drinking spot at Buipe, the Central Gonja District Capital last
Thursday. Police in the area, who confirmed her death of the teacher,
told Daily Guide that preliminary investigations indicated she died as a
result of excessive drinking of alcohol.
According to some
relations, early last Tuesday she was among dozens of sympathizers who
received news about the death of the President and took to the streets
to wail over the loss. Teacher Martha vowed to embark on a hunger strike
and she excessively drunk alcohol to console herself in view of her
love for the late President, who she described as man of peace (Asomdwe
hene).
Relatives said they initially thought she was kidding but
she continued the escapade late Wednesday, which attracted the attention
of people. According to the family, they thought she was in coma and
tried to resuscitate her by rushing her to the Buipe Clinic but she was
pronounced dead on arrival.
The body has since been released to
the family and buried in accordance with the customs of the area. Her
final funeral rites, Daily Guide gathered, will be performed at Busunu
near Damongo in the West Gonja District where she hails from.
It is
unclear whether the late teacher was an alcoholic but sources told Daily
Guide that she took to drinking after the President’s death.
...Na waooooo! Death by drinking?
