Ghanaians console the grieving widow

Social media users who knew the young man have expressed pain over the unfortunate incident. Others also offered their deepest condolences to the grieving widow.

Gyamea stated:

"Not even three days ago, I warned women to do a spiritual check-up before getting married because most of our men are cursed due to broken promises. If not death, then hardship after marriage. Please, when there is a competition, exit, because you might not know the commitment he's made elsewhere."

Justine Sitsofe Oritha commented:

"Lord, please show us mercy. Forgive our wrongdoings and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from premature death and evil."

preman_fabrics stated:

"And we are not done with exams. How will she be able to continue 🥹🥹 Sorry, Milly. May the Lord strengthen you."

piesiedoris538 reacted:

"Young couples dying after marriage is becoming rampant. Please pray before choosing your partner. Couples are dying because they married spiritual wives or husbands..."
