A mobile money (MoMo) vendor residing at Torkoni\/Blave in the Hohoe Municipality of the Volta Region has reportedly committed suicide, leaving residents in shock and despair.<\/p>\n

News of the incident broke around 1800 hours on Thursday, January 8, 2026.<\/p>\n

The deceased, whose identity is yet to be confirmed, also sold items such as toothpaste, sponges, and brushes at the Hohoe main lorry station.<\/p>\n

Mr Derek Adzoe, Assembly Member for the Torkoni\/Blave Electoral Area, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that sources confirmed the deceased was a MoMo vendor who was heard making phone calls earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

He said the conversation suggested that someone was demanding money from the deceased, who explained that he would settle the amount via MoMo or electronic cash (e-cash).<\/p>\n

Mr Adzoe added that sources revealed some individuals later visited the deceased\u2019s house, knocked on his door, and threatened to report him to the police.<\/p>\n

He said the deceased\u2019s brother recounted that his sibling\u2019s mood changed after receiving the calls, but did not disclose the issue.<\/p>\n

According to Mr Adzoe, the brother left for town and, upon his return, found the door locked.<\/p>\n

After several unsuccessful attempts to reach the deceased by phone, the door was forced open, and the deceased was found dead.<\/p>\n

Mr Adzoe, who was present at the scene, said the police had conveyed the body to the morgue for further investigations.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
