A 28-year-old woman identified as Maame Ekua has been found dead inside a room at a residence in Essikadu, within the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis of the Western Region of Ghana.

The incident came to light on Saturday, November 7, after Maame Ekua's mother received a distress call about an emergency involving her daughter at the Essikadu Hospital, according to a report by Connect FM 97.1.

How the discovery was made

Maame Ekua had left her home at New Takoradi earlier in the week, telling her mother she was headed to Obuasi for an undertaking assignment. She had instead gone to visit her boyfriend at Essikadu without her family's knowledge.

"I was home this Saturday when I was called that there was an emergency at the Essikadu Hospital involving my daughter, and I went there immediately, even though I knew my daughter was out of town. Unfortunately, I did not find her at the hospital," the mother said.

"They instead took me to a house in Essikadu, where I was told my daughter was lying dead in a room," she added.

Boyfriend arrested as police investigate

Maame Ekua's boyfriend has since been taken into custody. Police in the Western Region are conducting investigations to determine the circumstances surrounding her death. No cause of death had been officially confirmed at the time of reporting.
