Family Suspects Foul Play In Death Of Former Assemblyman Of Nogokpo

Christian Kwame Amuzu, a former Assemblyman for Nogokpo-Ativuta Electoral Area in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta Region, has refuted media reports that the deceased allegedly committed suicide. Torgbi Atsu Gledza, an elder brother of the late former Assemblyman and head of the Amuzu family told newsmen that the deceased was a healthy and hearty person, who did not complain of any illness or issues prior to his mysbusinessmanterious death.

He said contrary to earlier reports that the respected and accomplished businessman illegedly died of suicide, the family suspects that there was more to his sudden demise than is being speculated. “C. K is a prominent member of our society, a successful businessman, known widely in political circles, this is a man who has made it in life. In fact, with his position and status in the society, we do not believe he can take his own life there is something more to his death than is being reported,” Torgbi Gledza said.

He said the family was reliably informed that the wife of the late assemblyman did not pass the night at home prior to his death that fateful morning and that earlier reports attributed to her about taking their children to school were far from the facts so far gathered by the family. The body of the deceased was found hanging on a rope in his living room in the early hours of Wednesday, June 14, leaving residents of the community in a state of shock and disbelief as to what could have led to his mysterious death. 

The late Christian Kwame Amuzu is an avid supporter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and is said to be one of its strong financiers in the Ketu South constituency. His sudden passing has been described by party faithful as “a big loss” to the NDC in the constituency. His sudden death had thrown members of the NDC in the constituency into a state of utter disbelief.
