A man who was reported missing on Thursday, [December 25, 2025], has been found dead under disturbing circumstances in a bush at Bapilla, a community in the Talensi District of the Upper East Region.
The incident has sent shockwaves through Dagliga in the Nabdam District and surrounding communities.
The deceased, identified as Mosobil Levyang, 41, a tricycle rider popularly known as Capito, is a native of the Dagliga community in the Nabdam District.
He reportedly left his family home at Dagliga Lebyang House in mid-December 2025 to travel to Zomeela in search of a job.
On December 25, 2025, his colleagues informed the family of his absence from their base, and after three days without any contact, the family reported him as a missing person and appealed to the public for information on his whereabouts.
An extensive search across neighbouring towns and villages, did not yield results until Wednesday, [December 31, 2025], when his body was discovered in a bush at Bapilla in the Talensi District.
The body was reportedly found naked, with visible bruises, a swollen jaw and a pierced stomach, leading the family to suspect foul play.
“The injuries on his body show that something terrible happened to him. We strongly believe he was attacked, and we are demanding justice for our brother,” a family member told Graphic Online’s Gilbert Azeem Tiroog.
The incident has generated fear and anger among residents of Dagliga and nearby communities, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the matter to ensure accountability and deter similar incidents.
Some community members also appealed to security agencies to intensify patrols, especially in the Talensi East area, where there have been increasing robbery cases over the years.
The body of the deceased was laid to rest on Wednesday, [December 31, 2025] in accordance with local customs, amid grief and heightened tension within the community.
