An 18-year-old Visual Arts student from the Keta Senior High School (SHS) (KETASCO) met his untimely death after a motor bike he was traveling on to Wlitey-Sakpakorpe crashed with another motor bike.

Wonder Atimu, popularly known as 2-Flex, a first year student of KETASCO, was returning from a durbar at Dagbamete to which he was invited by a friend.

According to information, Wonder had early on vowed not to attend the said programme, but upon persuasion from his friend, whose name was given only as Noble, a final year student of Abor SHS, he agreed to accompany him on his motor bike.

The deceased, a boarder at KETASCO, had visited his mother, Madam Toyo, (aka Show-Sister) during the Easter festivities and on the day of the incident, Sunday April 8, he attended Christ the King Catholic Cathedral at Akatsi, to worship.

From church, Wonder visited Noble whom he accompanied to the durbar in Dagbamete.

On his way from the durbar grounds around 6pm that fateful day, the deceased, riding his bike, followed a vehicle but due to the dusty nature of the road, collided with an oncoming motor rider who, according to eyewitness, was riding at a very top speed with two pillions.

Wonder crashed his head in the process and bled profusely from the injuries he sustained. He at the same time vomited blood and food substances.
