One of two boys who fell into separate uncovered man-holes in Dormaa municipality has died while the other was rescued.<\/p>\n
The body of Frank Antwi, aged 8, was found last Monday floating in a pool of water collected in the man-hole near an unoccupied house on Schaefer Street, Dormaa-Ahenkro.<\/p>\n
The discovery of the deceased\u2019s body followed radio announcements about Frank\u2019s sudden disappearance from home last Saturday night after he had attended a \u201cwake-keeping\u201d of a radio presenter at Dormaa-Ahenkro.
The acting Municipal Fire Officer, Mr. Kingsley Attuah, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Dormaa-Ahenkro that his office was alerted on Monday after the deceased\u2019s body was spotted floating in the uncovered man-hole.<\/p>\n
Frank\u2019s body has since been buried after post-mortem, whilst police continues with investigations the cause of death.
In the case of Opoku, aged five, he was playing with some friends when he suddenly slipped and fell into a 20-feet deep man-hole near their house at Kofiasua, near Dormaa-Ahenkro.<\/p>\n
His screams for help attracted the attention of his mother, who rushed to the spot and raised the alarm leading to his rescue by personnel of Dormaa municipal fire station.<\/p>\n
The incidence of landlords leaving man-holes uncovered near their bath-houses and places of convenience in Dormaa-Ahenkro and its environs has been on the increase despite attempts at halting the practice including the prosecution of culprits by the Municipal Environmental Health Office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
