Nicholas Aklorbortu died after his motorbike crashed head-on with another rider near Adaklu on the Ho-Sogakope road. The NDC communications guy for South Tongu was heading back from a farming event when the collision happened, and both bikes caught fire because the other rider was carrying fuel in a gallon. Aklorbortu worked as a regional monitoring officer for the National Health Insurance Scheme.
The other motorcycle operator got banged up pretty bad with injuries to his face and limbs, but survived, while his passenger, Mawuli, burned to death at the scene. Doctors at a nearby clinic couldn't save Aklorbortu either, and his body ended up at Ho Teaching Hospital morgue. The whole political scene in South Tongu is mourning the loss of someone colleagues remember as genuinely committed to public service.
