Two old students of Achimota School, Davida Asante Boateng and Lilian Akorli, have tragically lost their lives after being struck by a vehicle on Friday, March 7, 2025.
According to an official statement from the Old Achimotan Association (OAA24), the two young women had attended the annual bonfire night at their alma mater and were returning to the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) when the incident occurred.
The statement indicated that Davida and Lilian were crossing the Achimota Highway when they were hit by a black Toyota Corolla. The driver of the vehicle did not stop to offer assistance and fled the scene.
