Sources told DAILY GUIDE that the deceased fell during a Christian fellowship following a day of prayers and fasting. She reportedly died during a deliverance session led by a colleague prayer warrior, as they all belong to the Campus Prayer Evangelism Group. Esi Adu was said to have been possessed by an evil spirit.
One of the students told Citi FM, “Last night as usual, we were there, several of us, praying.
The Holy Ghost was upon the lady so she was jumping here and there. We tried to control her but unfortunately, she fell from the roof top to the ground.”
Nana Ama, a level 100 Business Administration student, reportedly landed on an old tractor parked behind the storey building, crushing her head.
The deceased, who hailed from the Central Region, completed Agona Swedru Senior High School and was in her first year.
According to sources at the university, she was a staunch Christian and very prayerful.
The body of Nana Ama Esi Adu has been deposited at the Koforidua Central Hospital awaiting autopsy, while the police have started investigating the matter.
DAILY GUIDE’s visit to the school Thursday morning spotted colleagues of the deceased who were really devastated by the sudden death of their mate.
The New Juabeng Municipal Police Commander, Superintendent Richardson Kumeko, who confirmed the incident, said the deceased and 20 other students were having prayers on the last floor of the four-storey building when the incident happened.
He said pieces of information the police had gathered suggested that members of the group were having a deliverance session with the suspicion that the ‘Holy Ghost’ might have entered Nana Ama, making her hop about without realising the dangers in what she was doing.
The police chief said his outfit had stepped into the matter to investigate the circumstances that led to the cause of the student’s death.
School Authorities
The Vice President of the University, Rev Dr Twum Baah, confirmed to the media that the lady met her untimely death when she was praying with her colleagues, but what actually happened that led to her death was not yet known to the school authorities.
He said his outfit would investigate the matter and come out with a press release on what caused the death of Esi.
The Eastern Regional Minister, Antwi Boasiako Sekyere, later in the afternoon went to the school to express his condolences to the school authorities and the deceased’s family.
Mr Antwi Boasiako, addressing the school, expressed worry about the incident, adding that he heard about the tragedy and so had come to empathise with the school authorities and the family members, who had come to the institution at that time.
