Residents of Agogo in the Asante Akyem North Municipality are mourning the death of a first-term Assembly Member, Kwabena Osei, who was found dead in his home in what police believe may be a suspected suicide.
The late Assembly Member, who represented the Agogo Apentenyinase Electoral Area, was discovered in his house at about 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 7, 2026.
Police were alerted shortly after the discovery and moved to the scene to begin preliminary investigations.
Confirming the incident on Thursday, January 8, the Presiding Member for the Asante Akyem North Municipality, Frank Gyamfi, described Mr Osei as a young and dedicated leader in his early thirties whose death has come as a major shock to colleagues and residents alike.
According to Mr Gyamfi, he had spoken with the deceased just days before the incident and had no indication that such a tragedy was imminent.
“I was shocked when I heard of his demise because I had spoken with him on Sunday. He was a promising young leader, and this news is very painful,” he said.
Police have since deposited the body at the Agogo Mortuary for preservation and autopsy, as investigations continue to establish the exact circumstances surrounding the death.
Authorities say no conclusions have been drawn at this stage, and all findings will depend on the outcome of the police inquiry.
