Victor Ayomah Sunday, a 19-year-old final year Science student of Atebubu Senior High School in the Atebubu-Amantin District of the Brong Ahafo Region, has died from a snake bite.
The Atebubu Senior High School has been thrown into a state of mourning by staff and students of the school following the death of the student.
Narrating the incident to The Finder, Stephen Amoah, a close friend to the deceased, said the deceased was a day student but had moved to stay on campus because of the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
He said the deceased, who is a Science student, had gone home on Thursday to pick some few items but was bitten by a snake on his way back to school.
“There are two roads leading to our school: the main road and the school park. On the main road to the school, there is a cemetery so at night it is dangerous to pass there so my late friend rather used the school park, and in the process of coming back he was bitten by the snake,” Stephen Amoah recounted.
He revealed that he made a call to some friends on campus and he was rushed to Nana Kyere Clinic, where he was receiving treatment but died on Saturday and was buried on Sunday.
Dina Ayomah, sister of the deceased, said the family is devastated by the incident but they are looking up to God.
She said their expectation was for their brother to come out victorious in his exams and become a great person in future to help the family.
