Edem Agbana, the Member of Parliament for Ketu North MP has expressed deep sorrow over the tragic death of Atsufui Avinu, a UCC student who was found dead at a beach after being reported missing for several days.
According to the Ketu North MP, Innocentia was a native of Dzodze, a beneficiary of his scholarship scheme.
He revealed he knew the late UCC student personally through her family, adding that the last time he saw her was in March during a scholarship award ceremony for students.
The Ketu North MP further disclosed that he has been informed that the Police have commenced investigations and have called for the swift arrest and prosecution of those responsible for what he described as a heinous crime.
Edem Agbana also extended his heartfelt condolences to Innocentia’s family and prayed for strength for her mother, sisters, and loved ones during this difficult time.
In a post on X, Edem Agbana wrote, “I am completely distraught by the tragic news of the young UCC student who was found dead at a beach after she had been missing for days.
I knew INNOCENTIA AVINU personally because I am a friend of her family. She was a native of Dzodze and a beneficiary of our scholarship scheme. The last time I saw her was in March, when we awarded scholarships to the students.
I am reliably informed that the Police are investigating this incident, and I hope they swiftly apprehend and bring the perpetrators of this heinous crime to justice.
My young star girl is gone, and in such a tragic way.
May her soul rest in perfect peace, and may God grant her family, especially her mum and sisters, the strength to bear this painful loss”.
Meanwhile, a video has surfaced of a traditional leader in Dzodze in the Volta Region who disclosed that she is the sister of the mother of University of Cape Coast (UCC) student, Innocentia Avinu, who was tragically killed, invoking curses.
In a viral video, the traditional leader in Dzodze, Volta Region, home of Innocentia, invoked curses on those responsible for her death, calling for justice and accountability.
According to her, it is not every child that one can kill and go scot-free, calling on the ancestral spirits and river gods as she holds a Schnapp.
Speaking in the viral video, a family member of the late UCC student stated, “I am deeply pained to learn that someone killed Innocentia. She is my elder sister’s daughter. The pain the parents have endured to raise their child to that level is unbearable.
So, I want everyone to know that it is not anybody at all that you can kill and go scot-free”.
“Even if the child has made mistakes and followed a man for this to happen, it is not right. Every lady follows men, and every man is a womanizer. She was not a child. So, with pain, I have invoked my ancestors and the river we live by,” she said in the viral video.
Innocentia Avinu, a 20-year-old student of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), who had been reported missing, has been found dead on a beach.
Reports suggest the level 200 UCC student was last seen on June 11, 2026, at the Ayensu Plaza Hostel on the UCC campus when she informed friends that she was leaving campus to meet an acquaintance outside the university community.
According to the information gathered, her family launched a search and appealed to the public for assistance; however, her dead body was discovered on June 12, 2026, at Hatchland Beach Resort, near the University of Cape Coast.
Eric-Sylvera Kwadzogah Avorgbedor, a cousin of the deceased, has since confirmed her death in an interview, revealing that the cause of death remains unknown.
“The cause of death is unknown for now. I think there is going to be an autopsy on Monday, so until then, we do not actually know what caused her death. Her body was found at Hatchland Beach,” he said.
Authorities have not yet disclosed full details of the condition of the body. Police say they are treating the case as a serious incident and have begun efforts to establish what led to her death.
