Two people died on the spot and one other is in a critical condition following separate accidents at the Wli Waterfalls on Easter Monday.
In the first accident, a 25-year-old final-year student of Ghana Secondary School, Koforidua, Kennedy Adoboe Agbeko, drowned in the falls.
Agbeko, who was allegedly drunk, went swimming at a part of the falls which had been marked as a danger zone.
He had reportedly absconded from school since February this year and was in Hohoe.
He was pronounced dead on arrival at the Hohoe Government Hospital and his body has been deposited at the hospital morgue for autopsy.
In the other incident, Lance Corporal Alhassan Sulemana, 28, of the Jasikan Police Station died when he drove his motorbike into a ditch on his way from the waterfalls.
He died instantly and a 25-year-old lady, Olivia Amegatse, who was riding on the pillion is in a critical condition at the Hohoe Government Hospital. The police confirmed this incident and said investigations were ongoing.
