A Broadcast Journalist, Pius Agyemang, has been confirmed dead in a gory accident which occured at Akwatiakrom, near Nsuta, Ahafo-Ano South District of Ashanti Region on the Sunyani-Kumasi highway last Monday.

Mr. Agyemang, a staff of Shallom Radio, a Berekum-based local FM station was travelling from Sunyani to Kumasi with 15 other passengers in a Ford Transit mini bus with registration number AS 7257-15.
