A Ghanaian Diplomat, Serbia’s Honorary Consul to Ghana, Mr. Steve Mawuenyega, has been found dead in a room in a house near the American Embassy in Accra.
Mr Mawuenyega was a member of the General Assembly of the Honorary Consular Corps of Ghana (HCCGH).
He was in charge of relations between Serbia and the government of Ghana.
The Police has confirmed his death and the body moved to the Police Hospital morgue for autopsy.
