A community in Assin Kushia, within the Assin North District, is reeling after a missing 61-year-old man was discovered unconscious in a nearby bush on Friday, June 12, 2026, bearing signs of a violent assault.
Christian Etse Dosey, a well-known local palm wine tapper and traditional healer, had been missing for three days before searchers located him. Mr. Dosey, who has three wives and 19 children, was last seen on June 10 when he left home to deliver herbal medicine to a client.
When Mr. Dosey failed to return, his family and the local traditional authorities launched an intensive search operation. The efforts included traditional rites and public appeals to help track his whereabouts.
The search ended when Mr. Dosey was found lying in the bush in an unconscious state. He had sustained severe injuries, including: a fractured arm, multiple wounds to the neck and other bodily injuries.
Given the nature and severity of his wounds, the family and local residents strongly suspect that he was the victim of a targeted attack by unknown assailants.
Following his discovery, Mr. Dosey was initially rushed to a local clinic in Assin Kushia. He has since been referred to the St. Francis Xavier Hospital in Assin Fosu, where he remains under medical care.
His brother, Daniel Dosey, has publicly expressed the family’s belief that foul play was involved. The family and eyewitnesses are now urgently calling on the Ghana Police Service to launch a comprehensive investigation into the incident to ensure those responsible are identified and brought to justice.
