Chief who battled a lion making fast recovery in
hospital
Ho, March 19, Ghanadot/GNA - Togbe Dzamesi II, Chief
of Adaklu-Wuakpe who battled a lion in a 45-minute duel in the jungle at Wuakpe
near Wumenu, is recovering from multiple wounds the beast inflicted on his left
arm and left thigh.
This was contrary to rumours that the 51-year-old farmer had died from his
wounds at the Volta Regional Hospital.
When the Ghana News Agency called at the hospital on Thursday to verify the
rumour, Togbe Dzamesi was seen praying on his hospital bed.
He told the GNA, “I’m feeling much better than ever. The pains are less, I eat
and sleep well.”
Togbe Dzamesi said he was grateful to hospital personnel who attended to him and
expressed gratitude to all sympathizers.
Ms. Margaret Appiah, who is in charge of the male surgical ward, told the GNA
that the Chief was responding fast to treatment.
She said he is now able to visit the washroom unaided.
Ms Appiah appealed to the public to desist from spreading false information
about the health of patients because of the psychological effect that could have
on such patients.
