Dome, Accra – The foul stench emanating from a house at Ayigbe Town, an area within Dome Kwabenya in the Ga East district of the Greater Accra Region, and the apparent absence of an 86-year-old woman, Abraa Mansa, is raising eyebrows.
The police have moved in to cordon the house as a crime scene, and have mounted a search for a son of the woman, identified as Benjamin Kofi Yeboah, who is reported to have packed bag and baggage and told neighbours he was leaving the area.
Yeboah is reported to be a regular beater of his mother, who until recently was a popular banku seller, with whom he frequently quarrels. So frequent were their quarrels that neighbours no longer paid attention when it happened.
