A heartbreaking incident has shaken residents of Achimota in Accra after a man reportedly ended his life by leaping from the Achimota overhead bridge.
According to eyewitnesses, the tragic event happened so quickly that bystanders had no chance to intervene.
“He was running, and no one could tell what was going on. Before we even realised it, he had jumped,” an eyewitness told reporters, still in shock over the sudden turn of events.
Another onlooker described how the speed of the man’s actions left people frozen in disbelief. By the time they reached him, he was already lying on the ground below the bridge, bleeding profusely.
It reportedly took several minutes for the police to arrive and remove the body. The man’s identity remains unknown, and authorities are yet to determine what may have led to the incident.
Police have since opened an investigation to establish the facts behind the tragedy, as the community grapples with the shocking loss.
