Two Junior High School(JHS) final year pupils have died after falling into an abandoned galamsey pit at Dunkwa-Abasewa in the Upper Denkyira East District of the Central Region.
This took place on Monday, April 8, 2024.
According to available information, the deceased, Dominic Abu, 15, and Enoch Ogo, 16, both final year students of the Abisco M/A Basic School at Abesewa were returning from school when the incident occurred.
