Sad News Hits Ghana As 23-Year-Old Fabulous Ladies Defender Known As 1 Cedi Found Dead

According to a report by Ghanaweb on Saturday, October 31, 2026, a 23-year-old Ghanaian footballer has been found dead in the Ashanti Region, leaving members of the local football community mourning her death. Two people have reportedly been arrested as police investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The deceased has been identified as Efya Agartha, also known as Agartha Takyiwaa and popularly called “1 Cedi”. She played as a defender for Fabulous Ladies FC and was recognised for her involvement in women’s football.

Reports indicate that her body was discovered at Adum Afrancho, close to Aboabo, in the Atwima Kwanwoma District. However, some early accounts mentioned Sokoban Aboabo as the location, meaning the precise place has yet to be clearly established in public reports.

There have also been claims from local sources about the condition of her body when it was found. Those details have not been officially confirmed, so the circumstances of her death remain under investigation. Authorities are expected to establish what happened and determine the cause of death.

Two suspects were reportedly arrested in Techiman in connection with the case. Their names and the specific allegations against them have not been made public in the reports available. The arrests do not, by themselves, establish guilt, and investigations are continuing.

Aside from playing football, Agartha reportedly worked as a Pragya, a commercial tricycle, to support herself. Her death has prompted sadness among football followers and residents familiar with her work in the community.

Several people have called for a thorough investigation and accountability as the police work to establish the facts. Further official information is expected to clarify the circumstances of her death and the status of the suspects.
