Larbi, a 30-year-old Mobilemoney agent, was found dead Thursday morning after he committed suicide. The cause of his death was a result of him being defrauded of 15,000 Ghanaian Cedi at his workplace in the Awutu Senya Bodwiase region of the Central Region of Ghana.
Larbi had been a Mobilemoney agent for many years and made a living off of providing people with the convenience of digital transactions. However, the misfortune of being swindled out of 15,000 Ghanaian Cedi left Larbi feeling helpless and hopeless.
Larbi was an Afro-asian man who had been living in Ghana for years, working as a mobile money agent, and was recently found dead. He had reportedly taken his own life due to a financial burden.
Larbi had been struggling financially due to the GHC 15,000 debt he had been carrying for months. YNET reported that Larbi had a boss he worked for, and was paid a monthly wage. The reports suggest that the boss asked Larbi to pay the debt, so he may have felt a tremendous amount of pressure. It could be assumed that because of this pressure that ended his life.
It was the morning of Thursday, November 30th, 2023 when the unfortunate news of a young man's death had swept the small town like a violent storm. It was reported that his neighbors discovered the man, identified as Larbi, dead in his room, lifelessly hanged against the wall. As their attempts to reach out to him had failed, they quickly grew concerned and took matters into their own hands. Despite his protests, they barged their way past the locks of his door to find him in a state of bleakness, surrounded by the darkness that had consumed his being.
