In a spontaneous take-over of the streets, scores of youths poured into Avenor junction last Saturday to mark and mourn the death of a 37-year-old motorbike rider.
The 37-year-old Rastafarian, Joseph Kojo Alacham also known as Obrafou, lost his life in a fatal motor accident on the Dome-Ofankor road two months ago.
The mourning was occasionally aggressive as able-bodied sympathizers blocked parts of the road. Some wielded knives and a man was spotted with a pistol in one unstoppable show of brazen lawlessness.
The presence of policemen at the Avenor interchange could not bring sanity as some of the motor riders displayed dangerous riding skills, a spectacle for many who were cheering them up.
2015 GJA photojournalist of the year, David Andoh was there and captured over 238 shots screened to 30 photos of a motor rider’s funeral.
