The tragic news of an Obuasi prison officer found dead in River Pompo has shocked residents of the Obuasi East District in the Ashanti Region. The victim, identified as Constable Clement Tei Gyabah, popularly known as “Biggie”, was a young officer working with the Ghana Prisons Service, Obuasi Command.
According to eyewitness reports, the officer was commuting from Asonkore to work around 5:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, during a light drizzle. It is believed that he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into a concrete barricade near the riverbank.
However, the case took a strange turn when locals pointed out visible head injuries on the body. These deep wounds have led to speculation that Constable Gyabah may have been hit by a vehicle before falling into the river. This has raised fresh questions about what truly caused the death of the Obuasi prison officer found dead in such a shocking way.
Emergency responders, police officers, and residents worked together to recover both the officer’s body and motorcycle from the river. The remains were later sent to the morgue, where an autopsy will be carried out to confirm the cause of death.
As investigations continue, the Ghana Prisons Service has yet to release an official statement. The community of Akyem Tafo, the officer’s hometown, and the entire Obuasi East District are mourning the loss of a young life cut short.
The story of the Obuasi prison officer found dead continues to unfold, with the police working to determine whether foul play was involved or if it was purely an accident.
At this time, the cause remains unconfirmed, but the death of the Obuasi prison officer found dead in River Pompo is a painful reminder of the need for road safety, better lighting, and thorough investigations in such incidents.
