A policeman, General Corporal Francis Agyemang on New Year day reportedly drunk himself to death at Goza’s Pub a popular pub close to Oman Fm in Accra.
According to a police situational report, Corporal Francis Agyemang went to the spot in the company of one Abass but it was observed that both were visibly drunk and therefore did not buy more drinks. They were reported to have sat at the venue to watch a European football match but a few minutes later Abass left the deceased.
The deceased, who was wearing a cap and spectacles, was seen sleeping in one of the plastic chairs at the pub but at about 6:50 pm the supervisor at the pub one Patrick Nartey who is also a friend to the deceased reported to work and found him unconscious in the chair.
He called him severally but there was no response and when he got closer, he found out that there was foam coming out of his mouth. He quickly informed a police officer around and the deceased was rushed to the Police Hospital for treatment but was pronounced dead on arrival.
The body has since deposited at the police hospital mortuary pending an autopsy.
