Prosper Owusu, a student at the Akenten Appiah-Minkah University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development, passed tragically after setting himself on fire while participating in a rite.
During a meeting on campus, Owusu, who functioned as Chief Priest for the Opoku Ware Hall, was performing a fire rite when something went wrong.
What happened was discovered by Male Halls, a Twitter account that tracks events in male residence halls at our universities.
After his traditional robes caught fire during incantations as part of the Opoku Ware Hall’s events, the Chief Priest of AAMUSTED was admitted to the Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. Let’s remember him in our prayers, it said on the website.
Owusu’s entire body caught fire in footage of the incident that was made publicly available online, and he was seen frantically looking for something to douse the flames.
He was hospitalized at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for over a week until he tragically passed away on Friday.
We are very sorry to inform you that the Chief Priest of Opoku Ware Hall in AAMUSTED, who was involved in a fire outbreak six days ago, passed away tragically. Sadly, the student passed away at the Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital this afternoon. During this sad time, our thoughts and condolences go out to his family, the Traditional Council of Opoku Ware Hall, and the whole school community. Chief Prosper Owusu, RIP.” a post
