During the ceremony, the young man was served food and drinks in a room on the premises.
However, immediately after consuming the food, he collapsed and started foaming at the mouth.
He was immediately rushed to the Ajumako District Government Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
At the hospital, it was discovered that whatever substance that was mixed into the food served him had caused extensive damage to his intestines, killing him.
Some residents are convinced he was killed because of his behaviour in the town.
They alleged that whenever Kojo Aquaye got drunk he would steal people’s stuff, hence the poison may have been payback for his petty crimes.
The case has since been reported to the Ajumako District Police Command, where investigations have been initiated.
Meanwhile, the corpse has been deposited at the Etuafoa Mortuary for autopsy and preservation.
