Bongo Ideas, a social media personality, has expressed concern over the alarming rate of student deaths at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). According to him, the number of deaths recorded yearly at the institution looks like a yearly sacrifice.

Bongo Ideas took to his social media page to detail the number of student deaths in the past years. He claimed that in 2021, 23 students died, while in 2022, 26 students lost their lives. In 2023, 19 students died, and this year, 2024, 19 students have died so far.

The social media personality noted that the likely cause of death is a car accident, with most of the victims being final-year students. He also observed that female students of KNUST seem to be dying more. Bongo Ideas' comments come after the recent death of a third-year Geography student, Afia Dedaa Osae-Atuah.

Afia Dedaa Osae-Atuah died after being struck by a trotro vehicle while standing on the shoulder of the road. The incident has sparked concerns about the safety of students on campus and the need for measures to prevent such tragedies.



Bongo Ideas believes that the KNUST needs spiritual cleansing and fortification to end the yearly tragedies. He suggested that the institution should seek spiritual intervention to address the root cause of the deaths.

The social media personality's comments have sparked a debate on social media, with some people agreeing with him and others dismissing his suggestions as superstitious. However, one thing is clear: the KNUST needs to take urgent measures to address the safety concerns of its students.

The university authorities should investigate the causes of the deaths and take steps to prevent such incidents in the future. This may include improving road safety measures, providing counseling services to students, and engaging with spiritual leaders to address any perceived spiritual issues.

In conclusion, Bongo Ideas' comments have brought attention to the alarming rate of student deaths at KNUST. While his suggestions may be unconventional, they highlight the need for the university to take a holistic approach to addressing the safety concerns of its students.
