The Old Achimotan Association (OAA24) is mourning the tragic loss of two of its beloved members, Davida Asante Boateng and Lilian Akorli, who passed away after a devastating accident on March 7, 2025. The two friends, both members of Stopford House, were attending the Annual Bonfire Celebration at their alma mater, Achimota School.
The accident occurred on the Achimota Highway, while they were crossing the road around 11:30 pm, on their way back to the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA). A black Corolla vehicle knocked them down, and the driver refused to stop. Good Samaritans rushed the injured duo to the hospital around 12:02 am.
Sadly, Davida was confirmed dead at the hospital around 4:00 am on March 8, 2025. Lilian fought bravely for her life but unfortunately passed away earlier that morning.
The OAA24 has extended its deepest condolences to the families of Davida and Lilian, promising to provide ongoing support and find ways to honor their memory. The association will keep its members updated on any further information regarding the accident.
The tragic loss of these two young lives has sent shockwaves through the OAA community, and their memories will be deeply missed. May their souls rest in peace.
