On Saturday, 16th January 2021 about 7.10 am a soldier who has been identified as Sgt Owusu Collins of Military Southern Command Quarters was knocked off his motorbike by an alleged KIA Truck on the Tesano-Achimota road.
The victim who was riding an unregistered boxer motorbike from Tesano direction towards Achimota through Accra -Nsawam main road on reaching a section of the road in-front of Apenkwa Total Filling Station was knocked by the Kia Truck.
The driver in-charge the said truck failed to stop and bolted with the accident vehicle.
The victim sustained serious injuries and was rushed to 37 Military Hospital for treatment but was pronounced dead soon on arrival by the medical officer on duty Dr Amoah.
When the wind of changes blew in the 2016 general elections, Sefwi Akontombra was not left out. The electoral fortunes of the New Patriotic Party were anchored on an independent candidate who once served as the first Member of Parliament when Sefwi Akontombra was calved out of Sefwi Wiawso District/Constituency.
In fact and indeed, many political pundits never thought that in spite of the wind of change in 2016, NPP could whisk away the Akontombra seat from the hands of the National Democratic Congress in 2020 having regard to how long the NDC clinched on to that particular seat in time past.
