The untimely demise of Ransford Asomani Amankwaa, a final-year student at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, has sent shockwaves through the academic community, prompting his family to demand a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
The family expressed reservations about the university’s account of the incident, which suggested that the student had fallen from his hostel, leading to his demise. According to his father, Mr. Enoch Budu Amankwaa, the university authorities informed him of his son’s death in the early hours of Sunday, but the family questions the accuracy of this explanation.
As the news of the student’s death spreads, concerns about safety on university campuses, particularly at KNUST, have resurfaced. The family is adamant that a transparent investigation be conducted to unravel the truth behind their loved one’s death.
The authorities have been notified, and an investigation is currently underway to determine the cause of death. Meanwhile, the university’s administration has yet to release a detailed statement regarding the incident.
The tragic incident has sparked worries among students, parents, and the general public about the safety and security measures in place on campus. Many are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the investigation, hoping that it will shed light on the circumstances surrounding the student’s death and lead to measures that will prevent such incidents in the future.
