A 32-year-old young man has met his untimely death after falling into a well beside a poultry farm at Mmormesobuor near Dormaa Akwamu in the Dormaa East District of the Bono Region.

Mr. Samuel Agyei, the Station Officer in Charge of Rural Fire at Dormaa Fire Station, confirmed the news on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM.
He disclosed that the incident occurred on April 8, 2024.

Mr. Samuel Agyei stated that a heavy storm prevented the young man from visiting the farm on the day of the incident.
After the rains, the farmer went out, and when he arrived at the scene, he learned that a goat had fallen into the well.
