The two dead bodies and Baba’s car
TWO PEOPLE, a male and a female, have reportedly been found dead in a locked vehicle at Atonsu Agogo in Kumasi, in the Ashanti Region, sparking speculation.
The male deceased person was identified only as Baba, but the identity of the female was still not known when the report was being filed. It’s being rumoured that they were lovers.
The near-decomposed bodies of the duo, said to be employees of Asomdwie Rubber Company, a Chinese-owned company, were found on Monday, November 24, 2025.
According to reports, they had remained locked up in the Suzuki 4X4 vehicle, registered AS 1405-16, for about 48 hours before a foul stench drew the attention of people in the area.
It’s being alleged that Baba, whose wife is pregnant and the lady, who is about to get married in December, 2025, were lovers. The two were said to have earlier attended a wedding ceremony for one of their managers on Saturday, November 22. From the wedding, the lady reported to work in the evening shift but complained that she was not feeling well, so her supervisors granted her permission to go home and rest.
Rumours making rounds indicated that she did not go home but rather visited Baba, who drove her to the Atonsu Shoe Factory premises, where they were later found dead in the car.
Some residents of Atonsu Agogo, reportedly, said they saw Baba’s car heading into the shoe factory area on Saturday evening. The car was eventually parked with the engine running.
They disclosed that the vehicle’s engine later went off, but nobody in the community approached the vehicle to verify those onboard.
According to the residents, the vehicle, which had tinted glass, remained parked in the shoe factory premises from Saturday to Monday, when a bad odour started to emanate from it.
The people then started to suspect that perhaps there were dead bodies in the vehicle, so they quickly called the police, who broke the car’s side glass, only to find two dead bodies.
According to reports, the two were found seated at the back seat of the car. Baba was said to be wearing only singlet and shorts, and the lady was resting her head close to his shoulder.
It was not known whether the two people died because of suffocation from the excessive heat in the vehicle or whether something else caused their deaths in that bizarre way.
Meanwhile, the police have deposited the two dead bodies in a morgue in the city, as investigations to unearth what actually caused their deaths have commenced.
