Kwabena Baidoo, a former forward for Sekondi Hasaacas, has tragically lost his life in a motor accident during celebrations marking the National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) victory in the 2024 general elections.
The incident occurred on Monday, December 9, in the Ellembelle District of the Western Region, where Baidoo had traveled to cast his vote. Sources indicate that the footballer joined local supporters in their jubilation but met his untimely death while partaking in motorbike stunts that were part of the celebrations.
Joy Sports has learned that Baidoo had been in Accra in recent months, awaiting an international opportunity to continue his football career. However, due to delays in his plans, he returned to the Western Region last week, resuming training with Sekondi Hasaacas.
The player had been a prominent figure for Hasaacas between 2020 and 2023, although he had not featured for the Division One League side in the current season.
While Baidoo’s family has yet to release an official statement, news of his passing has sent shockwaves through the football and local communities, with tributes pouring in for the promising player.
His death highlights the need for safety precautions during public celebrations, as the nation mourns the loss of a young talent whose life and career were cut short in a moment of joy.
