Kwaku Antwi, a Kindergarten pupil of Offinso Basic School has met his untimely demise at Ahenkro in the Offinso Municipality.

According to checks, a nearby Church, Citadel Prayer Chamber close to the house of the deceased's parent has made illegal connection.

The Church building has collapsed but the live wires have left untouched on the ground.

Unfortunately, the two year old innocent child, Kwaku Antwi, who was roaming the place held the wire and put it in his mouth.

Sadly, he was shocked and died instantly.

The mother of the deceased, Maame Ama(SHS student), said she was passing by the place after school and found his son lying facely on the ground.

Unknowing what has happened, she touched him and got shocked.

This signaled her to call for help. Help came but to no avail. 

Meanwhile, the case has been reported to the Offinso Ahenkro Police and the Electricity Company of Ghana's branch at Offinso has confirmed the illegal connection of the Church building.

The head pastor of the church has been invited and questioned by both the police and ECG.
