“How can you die through the same problem you talk about??” one user, Harriet Awuni, mourned in disbelief. Another, Nana Tuffour, commented: “You posted this just yesterday and died through accident today! This world is so unfair.”
Collins’ death has sparked a renewed wave of calls on social media for government accountability and improved road safety enforcement. Many are describing his final post as prophetic, while others are calling for his message to be honored through concrete action.
As tributes continue to pour in, the tragedy of Collins Boateng Osei is serving as a stark reminder of the urgent need for comprehensive road safety reforms in Ghana.
