Missing Ghanaian teacher found dead under a mango tree after 27 years of struggles

A 43-year-old teacher, Abu Kabore, was found dead under a mango tree in Senasi, near Nsoatre. His body was discovered after he had been missing for 27 years—though reports suggest he had only recently gone unaccounted for by his caregiver.

Kabore, a senior high school teacher, lived with a caregiver who provided daily support. He had a long history of mental health struggles, often experiencing episodes that required close attention. When his caregiver briefly travelled, Kabore left the house without telling anyone.

After his disappearance, a search was launched. Locals later found his body beneath a mango tree in Senasi. Before his death, he had visited a food vendor, eaten food he had begged for, and remained seated under the same tree.

By the time authorities arrived, Kabore's body was in an advanced state of decomposition. Sanitation officers retrieved it and fumigated the surrounding area. The exact cause of death remains undetermined.

Kabore's death leaves unanswered questions about the circumstances leading to his final moments. Authorities continue to investigate, while his caregiver and community await further details. The incident has drawn attention to the challenges faced by those with mental health conditions in the region.
