A 100-level student from the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), has tragically taken his own life after discovering his girlfriend in an intimate encounter with another man.
Reports indicate that the young man unexpectedly visited his girlfriend’s hostel, only to find her in a compromising position with another male student. The shock and heartbreak from the discovery were too overwhelming for him, leading to him fainting on the spot. He was reportedly carried back to his hostel by his friends and fellow students after regaining consciousness.
However, the emotional distress seemed too much for him to cope with, and he allegedly ended his life by hanging shortly after the distressing event. The incident has shocked both the university community and the wider public.
A disturbing video circulating on social media captures university officials and police officers removing his body from the hostel premises, signaling the start of an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his tragic death.
Reactions on social media have been varied. While many express deep sorrow over the loss, others criticize the student's choice, labeling it as an avoidable tragedy. Some have taken the opportunity to urge young people to seek emotional support and help when dealing with painful or difficult situations, rather than resorting to harmful decisions such as self-harm or suicide.
The university has not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident. Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service has initiated a full investigation to determine the exact circumstances that led to the student's death.

Update was that, he stumbled on his girlfriend with another guy in bed in her hostel room. He fainted and was brought back to his hostel.
Unable to bear the pain, he took the coward lane. Yes. Sad but he’s a coward for this. God forgive us all.
