A 21-year-old final-year
student at the A.M.E Zion Senior High School in the Central Region has died after being attacked by bees on the school premises.
The deceased, Emmanuella Quainoo, had enrolled at the private school for remedial classes to improve her science scores following an earlier WASSCE attempt. Around 5 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, she was reportedly swarmed by bees while on campus.
Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, Emmanuella could not survive the attack. Medical staff reportedly recommended urgent treatment, including a blood transfusion, but her condition rapidly deteriorated.
According to the witnesses, attempts to get emergency assistance were delayed after the Winneba Fire Service was unable to respond due to a reported breakdown of its fire tender.
