A 37-year-old Ivorian man reportedly poisoned himself after his girlfriend informed him of her pregnancy.

According to sources, his body was found behind a filling station at Kasoa Krispocity in the Awutu Senya East Municipality.

As reported by GHOne News reporter Yaw Boagyan, the deceased had been seen wandering in the area over the weekend, but local residents did not assist him.

Residents found a mobile phone beside his body and managed to contact his girlfriend using one of the saved numbers.
