A bee attack at Wawase, a suburb of Agona Swedru, the capital of the Agona West Municipality in the Central Region, has led to the death of a three-year-old boy.

According to the Agona West Directorate of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), the incident occurred around 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 20, 2026, when a swarm of bees invaded the community.

A total of ten people were affected in the attack, leading to the unfortunate death of Christopher Amponsah, aged three.

The remaining victims sustained varying degrees of injuries and are currently receiving medical treatment.

Personnel from NADMO and the Ghana National Fire Service in Agona West responded swiftly to bring the situation under control.

The Municipal NADMO Director, ACDCO Charles K. Agbavitor, on Saturday led a team to the scene to assess the situation and commiserate with the bereaved family.

This marks the second bee attack in the Central Region within a week, bringing the death toll to two.

In an earlier incident on Tuesday, a female student of a private senior high school in Winneba lost her life following a similar attack.
