A 14-year-old candidate of Kwahu Praso Preaparatory School in the Eastern region has died days after complaining of minor headache.
Her colleagues and family members are in a state of shock since her death was confirmed on Thursday, June 12, 2025.
Father of the deceased Godwin Osei griefed at the loss of his daughter.
“She complained of headache and took some tablets before going in to write the paper on the first day. On her return, she felt weak and rested in our neighbour’s house. I was called to pick her up. I took her to Kwahu Praso Clinic for her to be cared for. We left the clinic to the house, but she kept vomiting in the night. I had to rush her to the Holy Family Hospital at Nkawkaw. The nurses tried their best to stabilize her, but she passed on. She didn’t have any chronic ailment that I know of,” he narrated.
The deceased’s classmates shared fond memories of her.
“I was shocked upon hearing her death. I didn’t believe it. We were all here yesterday, after the first paper, we knew she was sick. We will miss a friendly and lovely colleague.”
The Kwahu South Municipal Director of Education, Williams Frimpong, and the MCE, Effah Osei Bonsu David, visited the exam center to console the grieving peers.
“We have consoled her peers to write the exams. Thankfully the teachers have also helped in that regard. We have visited the families too,” he noted.
