An ex-soldier, believed to be in his early 50s, has been found dead in his home at Fiifi Down, a suburb of Nyanyano Kakraba in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region.

Residents were left in shock after discovering his lifeless body lying naked in his living room on Saturday, August 9, 2025.

Police told Adom News they received a distress call from neighbours after a foul smell was detected coming from his room.

Officers broke into the room and found the deceased — popularly known in the community as W.O. — lying in a prone position. He reportedly lived alone.

Environmental Health officials from the Gomoa East District Assembly have since fumigated the house due to the advanced state of decomposition.

The body has been transported to the Police Hospital mortuary in Accra by officers from the Central East Regional Police Command, with assistance from the military.

Investigations are ongoing.
