A sense of tragedy has settled over the community of ObengKrom in the Suaman Dadieso District. Moses Frafra, a long-time resident, has taken his own life, leaving behind a trail of questions and sorrow.
According to reports, Moses had been struggling with a hernia and the weight of loneliness.
Despite efforts by the community to support him, he became increasingly isolated, refusing to reach out to relatives or accept help.
In a shocking turn of events, Moses took his own life on Tuesday afternoon, just a day before he was set to return to his hometown of Bolgatanga with the community’s assistance.
A passerby discovered his body and alerted the authorities, who later confirmed the tragic news.
The man who is believed to be in his 50s has no family visiting him. In fact, the treatment of his hernia was sponsored by the community as he could not work as a result. And the community had also contributed money to allow hm go back to Bolgatanga where he claimed to have family.
As the community grapples with the loss, many are left wondering what more could have been done to prevent this tragic outcome.
Moses’ story serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of mental health support and community intervention.
