The infestation of mysterious tiny insects in the Agona Amponsah farming community and its environs, in the Agona West municipality has tragically led to the demise of two individuals.

According to a report by UTV Ghana, the incident has sparked fear and panic among residents, preventing people from visiting their farms, for fear of being bitten or harmed by these insects.

Residents initially suspected the mysterious insects might be mosquitoes responsible for transmitting Dengue fever. However, upon closer examination and assessment, it was determined that the cases were not similar to Dengue fever.

The report indicates that the black flying tiny insects inject poison into the body upon biting, resulting in individuals feeling cold within seconds.

Concerned about the mysterious insects, residents have appealed to the Municipal Chief Executive of Agona West Municipality, Evans Onomah Coleman, to intervene immediately.

Their request is a plea for the municipality, to conduct a fumigation exercise in the community to curb the infestations.
