Police Investigate Suspicious Death of Woman at Partner's Residence in Dzodze

Police in the Ketu North Municipality have launched an investigation following the discovery of a woman's body at a residence in Dzodze early Friday morning. The deceased, identified as Mama Ahama, a woman in her late 30s, was found unresponsive at the home of her partner, 53-year-old Christian Ahiadzro. The incident, which occurred around 3:00 AM on February 20, 2026, has sparked local interest as authorities work to determine the circumstances surrounding her sudden passing. According to official reports, Mr. Ahiadzro personally notified the Dzodze police after discovering that Mama Ahama was not responding. Upon arriving at the scene, police officers conducted a preliminary examination of the body and the immediate environment. Notably, investigators reported finding no visible signs of physical violence or struggle, suggesting that the cause of death may not be immediately apparent. The deceased was promptly transported to St. Anthony’s Hospital, where she was officially pronounced dead by Dr. Emmanuel Bello. The case has since been moved into a more formal investigative phase. While Christian Ahiadzro is currently cooperating with the police and providing details to assist in the inquiry, the authorities are awaiting scientific confirmation regarding the cause of death. The body of Mama Ahama has been transferred from St. Anthony’s Hospital to the Ho Teaching Hospital, where a comprehensive autopsy is scheduled to be performed. This medical examination is expected to provide the clarity needed to determine if foul play was involved or if the death was due to natural causes. The Ketu North Municipal police have assured the public of a thorough investigation to ensure justice and clarity for the bereaved family. As the community of Dzodze awaits the autopsy results, the incident serves as a reminder of the critical role of timely reporting and professional medical examination in handling sudden deaths. Further updates are expected once the forensic report is finalized by the medical team at Ho.
