The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, has led a high-powered regional delegation to console the Obogu Saviour Church of Ghana following the tragic loss of 16 young congregants in a road crash.
The devastating incident occurred as the victims mostly teenagers and young adults were returning from a church conference. The tragedy has plunged the Obogu community and the wider Asante Akim South Municipality into deep mourning.
