The Assin Fosu community is in mourning following the reported suicide of Prince Nkrumah, a young ICT teacher, who allegedly ended his life after a painful romantic setback.
Community sources indicate that Nkrumah had been in a long-term relationship with a woman whose nursing education he had financially supported, including covering school fees, with hopes of marriage and a lifelong partnership.
However, the relationship reportedly ended after she informed him she no longer wished to continue and subsequently cut off all contact.
In the weeks before the incident, the teacher is said to have shown signs of severe emotional distress, including social withdrawal, mood swings, and behavioral changes, noticed by friends, neighbors, and colleagues. A note reportedly found at the scene suggested personal struggles, though its full contents have not been made public.

Experts emphasize that emotional well-being is crucial, particularly in high-stress professions like ICT teaching, where educators must balance technical instruction with student mentorship. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding his death to clarify the events leading to this loss.
