A Class Two pupil allegedly committed suicide under unclear circumstances at Tikobo No_2 in Jomoro municipal on July, 12.
The body of the 12-year-old girl, Vivian Abbah was found dangling from a structure with her two kneels on the ground with a rope tied around her neck.
Hon Augustine Marshall Akainyah, the assembly member of the area told New Day FM journalist, Kaakyire Kwasi Afari that, the body was discovered at around 10:30am on Monday by the owner of the structure who saw the lifeless body of the female student near her house.
Meanwhile, the converged residents at the scene mentioned that it was still unclear why the Class Two at Roman Catholic primary School allegedly took her own life.
The residents and the family of the late Vivian Abbah are however, in doubt and hard to accept that their daughter hanged herself because according to them, a few struggles on the ground at the crime scene don’t convinced them to accept that the deceased took her own life.
The body of the deceased was taken by the police to the Half Assini mortuary pending a post mortem examination.
The assembly member has gathered that the deceased had finished dining with her colleagues during their break period but complained bitterly for not being satisfied with the food they were served together at the school canteen thus, she asked to leave for home to demand money to purchase another food but only to hear of her death.
However, hon Augustine Marshall Akainyah describes the deceased as calm and very respectful person in the community hence her death comes as a biggest shock to him.

The chorus is mostly always sang right, but the english part is where the problem comes which happens to be the beginning of the song, so that is where we will be centered on.
This is the correct Lyrics of Hearts of Oak anthem;
“Arose, arose, arose.
Be quiet and don’t silly,
We are the fame of Hearts of Hearts Of Oak,
We never say die”
And Below is the wrong lyrics of the song:
“Our route, our route are old,
Be quiet and don’t be seen,
We are the famous Hearts of Oak,
We never say die”
Hearts of oak is not new team in the system and a big team like Hearts anthem do not change easily like that.
I respect Hearts of Oak and the philosophy of the team too, so changing their anthem or song within two days is not possible.

June 20, 2021 will be the day both Mbem and Baku community will never forget because of this heavy score line after 90 minutes at MBEM school park.
Infact there is a talent in NZEMA because I saw a lot of talent in that game between Mbem and Baku u15. Although Baku conceded 8 goals but their performance wasn’t bad at all since we have three things in football. You may have quality players but hard luck can give you negative result after the final whistle.
The officiating wasn’t bad but it took to the boys hard work and lucky performance helped them won with that heavy score line.
Baku would have equalize 2 but they missed penalty in the half time.
Just 4 players scored the 8 goals after the 90 minutes.

Having expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the National Association of Nzema students, she has appealed to government, philanthropist and Islamic foreign missions to come to the aid of the senior high school at Kamgbunli.
