On Sunday, 19th May 2024, a tragic accident occurred involving several vehicles from the President’s convoy along the Bunso-Akyem Asafo stretch of the Accra-Kumasi Highway. The convoy was returning from Kumasi after a weekend of events attended by the President.

In this unfortunate incident, Mr. Kwesi Atta, one of the drivers, lost his life.
