The Akuse Local Prison community is in mourning following a devastating traffic accident on Saturday, December 6, 2025, that killed two female prison staff and badly injured two male coworkers.
The Akuse District Police Command has initiated an emergency inquiry into the circumstances behind the devastating incident, which happened on a crucial section of road in the Akuse township.
On Saturday morning, there was an accident between the Akuse Junction and the VRA Junction.
While the specifics of the collision remain unknown, the vehicle involved has been identified as a Toyota Corolla sedan with the registration number GS 4817-17.
The two female officers died instantly as a result of the collision. Multiple fractures and serious injuries were received by the two male prison officers who were also inside the car.
For emergency stabilization, the wounded male cops were first taken to the Akuse Government Hospital.
However, because of the seriousness of their wounds, they were later sent for expert medical care to the better-equipped St. Joseph Hospital in Koforidua, the Eastern Regional headquarters.
Their coworkers have been deeply affected emotionally by this twofold tragedy—the deaths and the precarious state of the injured.
The staff at the Akuse Local Prison in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality is reportedly in great shock and anguish as a result of the tragic news, according to Citi News sources.
Many coworkers are praying for the healing of those still undergoing treatment in Koforidua while simultaneously lamenting the deaths of the two officers.
A formal inquiry into the deadly traffic collision has been confirmed by the Akuse District Police Command.
To ascertain the precise order of events leading up to the collision, the investigation will concentrate on obtaining evidence, speaking with witnesses, and inspecting the car.
The sad event highlights the dangers that uniformed soldiers endure while doing their duties, both on official deployments and while traveling.
The loss of staff is a major blow to the close-knit security community at the Akuse Local Prison, which is located in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality and is a major correctional facility in the Eastern Region.
