Issah Sibawe
THE KINTAMPO South National Democratic Congress (NDC) Assistant Secretary, Issah Sibawe, died in a fatal accident on the Kintampo-Techiman road Sunday afternoon.
According to reports, the incident occurred barely three days after Siba, as he was affectionately called, took a second wife.
He reportedly had a wife with a child before getting married to another woman.
The deceased and his new bride travelled to Techiman to formally introduce themselves to their families, but were involved in an accident on their return. One of the tyres of the pick-up vehicle on which they were travelling dislocated. The situation caused the vehicle to veer off the road and somersault multiple times, killing Siba on the spot.
His new wife, who sustained injuries, is currently receiving treatment at the Techiman Holy Family Hospital, while the deceased was buried yesterday, as Islamic customs demand.
The Constituency Communications Officer, Matthew Atanga, who confirmed the incident on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem show, said Siba’s death is a big blow to the constituency as he was a hardworking individual who contributed a lot to the growth of the party, adding that “replacing him will not be an easy task.”
