A Senior Registered nurse at the Kpasera CHPs compound based in Central Gonja District of the Savannah region, Atinga Aniyiri David has committed suicide.
Snippets of information available to Newstitbits suggest that he took his own life because his girlfriend had threatened to leave him.
The lovers have been having issues recently, which the girlfriend felt it was impossible for her to keep staying in the relationship.
To the surprise of many, the nurse was later seen hanging on a tree with a rope tied around his neck by some residents.
The assemblyman for the area Japo Mohammed was alerted about the situation, which he informed the police in turn.
The deceased worked at the Mpaha Health Center before being transferred to Kpasera CHPS compound two years ago.
The body has since been convened to the Damongo Government Hospital morgue for autopsy and preservation.
