Abena Pascaline’s father speaks about death

Following his daughter’s death, Abena Pascaline’s father granted an interview to clear up misinformation about her cause of death.

He said that after she had taken an exeat from school due to feeling unwell and not coming home, he started searching for her and found her at her boyfriend’s home.

“When I called my daughter, she confirmed that she had taken the exeat but was camping with a friend. I think she thought I would be mad at her, so she refused to give me the location. So I had to find my own way of locating her,” he said.

Abena Pascaline’s father denied the rumours of his daughter’s cause of death and added that he suspected she died of malaria due to the unsanitary nature of the home she was staying in with her alleged boyfriend.
