I�m Devastated � Bawumia

The vice presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has expressed sadness over the sudden death of his press aide Kwabena Boadu in the line of duty.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in a post on his facebook page said he was 'devastated' over the news.

"Yesterday was one of the saddest days of my life. I lost my younger brother, friend and colleague, Kwabena Boadu, in Wa under circumstances I cannot still understand. Kwabena was simply brilliant, diligent, loyal, and honest. I was most fortunate to have met him. He was matured beyond his years and was a trusted confidant. I am devastated. It is just unbelievable. May his soul rest in perfect peace" he wrote.

Kwabena Boadu, a graduate of the University of Ghana, Legon, was found lifeless in his hotel room in Wa on Thursday. According to sources, he was electrocuted.

Meanwhile, his remains have been handed over to family members in Accra.
