He added that he has dealt with a lot of suicide attempted cases when he was a judge which he revealed the reasons for the act are mostly easy to address issues.

He further revealed that, in 2012 there was 1,500 suicide cases in Ghana and he believe as in 2021 it might have risen to a higher figure saying the society must keep on preaching against it since it is a bad act for a human being to practice.
