A 44-year-old Ghanaian lawyer, Kofi Yawson-Adjei, committed suicide by hanging himself on Tuesday in Accra, Ghana.

According to Ghanaweb.com, Yawson-Adjei, who is the Secretary of the Ghana Institution of Surveyors (GIS) and valuers, hanged himself in his private office on the first floor of a rented premises at Adabraka.

The father of three is said to have left his Kokomlemle residence about 3 a.m. for his office (in a taxi), where the incident took place.

He left a written note directing a lady named Narh to give a signed cheque for GH¢3,000 to his wife.

Yawson-Adjei was with the Valuation Estate and Surveying Division of the GIS and was Chief Executive Officer of Property Lane Limited.

Personnel from the Homicide Unit of the Ghana Police Service were also at the scene to convey the body to the Police Hospital mortuary, but the elder sister of the deceased would not allow members of the media to enter the office where the deceased was found hanging.

A picture captured on a mobile phone, however, showed the deceased wearing a white T-shirt and a red boxer’s shorts and hanging from the ceiling with a rope around his neck. Nobody knows why Yawson-Adjei did it, but the following people gave these accounts:

Mr Emmanuel Martey;  Chairman of the Valuation Estate Surveying Division of the GIS:

“We had conducted examination for our trainees for admission to membership, so we decided that we move outside Accra to have time and concentrate to mark and then do peer review.

I was marking with him when he began complaining about being blank and being unable to appreciate what he was marking. I asked him on a number of occasions to go and rest.

On Sunday evening, took Yawson-Adjei to the Valley View University Hospital for treatment, and on arrival the nurse observed him and said his blood pressure was very high because he had gone through so much stress.

They gave us prescription and I took him back to the hotel. But he was still weak so we arranged for him to be taken home.

“I called his home this morning (Tuesday) to find out his status, but I was told that something had happened and that he left home around 3 a.m. Apparently, they did not know where he was until they discovered him in his own office.”
