The incident reportedly occurred in the Hohoe Municipality of the Volta Region in a village called Alavanya Wududi on Wednesday, May 26, 2021. According to an eyewitness, the deceased fired his gun on his girlfriend after he confirmed she had entered the room. “I was told the gentleman traced the girlfriend to the new boyfriend’s room. So he shot the girl through the trap door, but fortunately, the girl survived, but the bullet hit her on the left breast. The man thought the lady was dead, so he then reloaded the gun and shot himself, dying instantly,” a resident stated in the Citi News report cited by GhanaWeb.
