The capital of the Volta Region, Ho, is currently engulfed in grief and a strong demand for justice following the alleged murder of Francis Senyo Doheame.
The youth in the community have united to seek answers and accountability regarding this tragic incident, which has shaken their sense of security.
Francis Senyo Doheame, affectionately known as “Eperror,” was reported missing on June 21, 2023. His lifeless body was discovered on June 24 in a secluded area of Saviefe Agorkpo, in the Ho West District. Eyewitnesses present at the scene have raised doubts about the official suicide narrative, suggesting that the scene was staged to conceal evidence of foul play.
According to those who found Francis’s body, he was discovered in a kneeling position with a yellow nylon rope tightly wound around his neck and tied to a tree. They also noted a visible wound on his left calf, which was bleeding. Francis had been a dedicated teacher at the Saviefe Agorkpo E.P Primary School before his untimely demise.
The youth of Ho have taken to social media platforms, using the hashtag #Justice4Francis, to demand a thorough investigation into his death. They firmly believe that Francis was murdered and that his body was strategically placed in the remote bush to give the appearance of suicide. Alongside their online posts, they have shared pictures of the deceased to raise awareness and rally support for their cause.
