A former presenter of ATL FM and a headteacher of Ansapatu Basic School near Efutu in the Cape Coast Metropolis has been shot dead by an unidentified assailant in his driveway in his house at Cape Coast.
Father of Two, Ayifah Gorman was shot and killed on Saturday 22nd May 2021 around 7:30pm while parking his vehicle with registration number CR811-W.
Family members of the deceased who identified him as a likeable and fun loving person said they are devastated.
Reports gathered by ATL FM NEWS indicated that Mr. Ayifah Gorman popularly known as Dr. Sting, had returned from a trainer’s course at the University of Cape Coast when the incident occurred.
Giving an account to the event on the day, a tenant of the house, Gifty Amewodah said they were in their rooms when they heard a loud bang thinking it was someone who had thrown a firecracker or his tire has burst only for them to hear shouts from the wife of the deceased to come to her aid.
“I came out of my room and came to where the wife was standing only to find Dr. Sting shot in the face at close range in the driver’s seat. I and another tenant managed to send him to the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital where he was pronounced dead by the Doctor on duty,” she said.
She further stated “we cannot speculate what happened because we don’t know him as a troublesome person”.
The UCC Police has taken over the case and are investigating but no arrest(s) have been made so far. The body has been kept at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital morgue.
