A teacher identified as John Asamoah Duodu alias O-Level has hanged himself to death after being scammed.
The incident occurred at Tinkong in Akuapem North Municipality in Eastern Region about 2:00pm
He was found hanging dead with a rag around the neck in a room of a family house.
An investigation conducted indicates he was deceived by his girlfriend to take a loan to invest in network marketing which later turned out to be a Ponzi scheme.
He was therefore using his monthly salaries to defray the cost of the loan leaving him a peanut to live on every month. This brought untold hardship on the deceased teacher who was recently posted to the Afram Plains area.
His Brother Benjamin Boateng said, “Apart from the fact that he complained that he only takes home ghc500 after deduction of his loan. He was hallucinating too so it seems evil forces were haunting him”.
The body of the deceased has been deposited at a morgue in the Tinkon community
