Tema: Another Police Officer Commits Suicide

Another Police officer has allegedly shot himself dead at Tema in the Greater Accra region. The deceased, Dsp Divine Asiam then with the prosecution unit of the Tema police command shot himself in his room on Sunday morning. It is unclear the reason for the action. Official sources at Adjei Kojo District Police station indicated that the late Devine Asiam was with Tema Courts Unit,

Borteyman and shot himself after writing a note which was found beside him along with the pistol suspected to have been used in the suicide and when officers were also dispatched to the scene of the alleged suicide, they found him with a gunshot wound around his left eye and under his chin which they suspected to be self inflicted. He was bleeding profusely but was still alive when they

found him. The wounds also suggested he shot himself under his chin and the bullet exited through the top of his left eye without killing him instantly. DSP Mr. Devine Assiam was quickly rushed to the Police Hospital for medical attention where he was admitted but he died shortly after. Police investigators returned to his room where the incident happened and then retrieved a pistol

also smeared with blood on the floor. Four unused live rounds of ammunition were found in its magazine. His suicide note which is dated on February 14, 2021 was written at 1am before he shot himself at around 7 in the morning. Police have retrieved all the exhibits and are being kept for evidence purposes. This suicide comes barely a fortnight after the Police Commander for the

Jomoro in the Western Region of Ghana Superintendent McCarthy Zenge allegedly killed himself too in a similar fashion. According to reports, Superintendent McCarthy Zenge wrote in the suicide note that I am fed up in this world. It’s unclear why he was fed up with life and had to commit suicide but the Public Relations Officer of the Western Regional Police Command, DSP Olivia Adiku, confirmed his death but indicated that she will divulge further information after all investigations have taken place.
