- The Nsawam community is reeling after the murder of 28-year-old tricycle rider Jacob Agbesinu, whose body was found bound and lifeless near a construction site.
- Police suspect poisoning, as there were no visible wounds.
- His tricycle was stolen, and the case has sparked fear and outrage among residents.
Jacob Agbesinu left home expecting a routine delivery job. By evening, he was dead.
The 28-year-old tricycle operator was last seen heading toward a construction site after receiving a call from a man who claimed to need help transporting bamboo. Hours later, his body was discovered near Signboard in Nsawam — tied up, mouth sealed with super glue, and foam leaking from his nostrils.
Police found no cuts or bruises, leading investigators to suspect poisoning. His tricycle, registered GG-2999-25, was missing — likely stolen by the assailants.
The murder has sent shockwaves through the Eastern Region town, where tricycle riders are now questioning their safety. Residents say Jacob was known for his quiet nature and hard work, making the brutality of his death even harder to process.
The scene — a young man bound and silenced — has ignited calls for stronger security and faster investigations. Community leaders are urging police to step up patrols and ensure that riders, who often work late into the evening, are protected from targeted attacks.
Jacob’s death isn’t just a tragedy. It’s a warning. And Nsawam is demanding answers.
