A Ghanaian woman, Lawrentia Ndago, and her five children have perished in a fatal accident, leaving her husband and other relatives devastated.

The 38-year-old woman was reportedly attending a funeral with her children, including a three-year-old boy, when the sad incident occurred in a town near Techiman.

Speaking to the media, Mr Ndago George, the husband of the deceased woman and biological father of the kids, explained that the incident occurred at Offinso-Abofour.

Narrating his ordeal, he noted that he last saw his family on Wednesday dawn, April 16, 2025, when he was leaving for work.

"I was at Obuase when the incident happened. I came home on Monday evening due to the nature of my job. So on Wednesday morning, we said our goodbyes, and I set off to work again.

"I hadn’t even arrived at my destination when the incident occurred. I was at Adansi Boase when I received a call that my family had been involved in an accident," he sadly explained.

The woman and her kids were attending the funeral of her late brother in a town near Techiman, Mr Ndago said.

According to him, all family members were to arrive at the venue for the funeral by Saturday, since that was the scheduled day for the funeral, but due to their large number, they agreed to go in batches.

He suggested that his wife and kids take the lead on Wednesday, so that the rest of the family could travel later on Saturday. A niece joined the woman and her kids, and they set off.

Barely three hours into their journey, he received a call informing him of an accident involving his family.

"Their car set off at around four to five am. At 8 am, I received a call informing me about the accident. An uncle lived in the town where the incident occurred, so I called and appealed to him to handle the situation on my behalf."

He noted that he was immediately informed by his uncle that four of his kids did not survive the accident. The rest - his wife, first child and niece- were transported to the hospital for treatment, but unfortunately, they also passed away days later.

Counsellor advises on how to deal with grief

In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, a Ghanaian counsellor, Counsellor Seyram Avortri, advised on how to deal with the loss of loved ones.

"Losing a loved one is painful, talkless of losing a whole family. This will lead to serious emotional issues, which need to be properly dealt with. I will advise the man to grieve well over his loss. He should acknowledge his pain and not try to harbour it.

"He's a man, yes, but unlike the popular adage, 'barima nsu', which means 'men don't cry', I will urge him to pour his heart out, especially when he feels like crying," he said.
