The family of
the late Michael Ashie, one of the three people who tragically lost their lives
after suffocating while servicing a faulty fuel reservoir at the COCOBOD office
in Koforidua, says they are fully cooperating with the Ghana Police Service,
who have begun their investigation into the unfortunate incident.
Michael Ashie,
together with Jonathan Kokroko and Paul Ocloo, all technical experts contracted
by the management of the PBC workshop to service a faulty fuel reservoir at the
Koforidua COCOBOD Office, allegedly suffocated while working in the facility on
Monday, October 9.
Health
professionals at the St. Joseph’s Hospital in Koforidua Effiduase, who
confirmed the deaths of the three after their bodies were extricated from the
underground tank and sent to the hospital, are also collaborating with the
police and will soon furnish them with the autopsy report.

Ashie, the son of the deceased Michael Ashie, described the incident as
shocking to the family, which they are gradually recovering from.
“It was shocking
news, but all the same, we have to embrace whatever news has come, and we are
standing strong. I am trying to keep my mother and my sister together,” he
said.
Meanwhile, the
management of COCOBOD in the Eastern Region is still waiting for confirmation
from the national headquarters before briefing the media on the incident.
