Alhaji Muazu has passed away
Alhaji Adam Muazu, the recently appointed Municipal Chief Executive of the Lawra Municipality, has been reported dead at the age of 53.
According to a report by myjoyonline.com, Muazu’s death followed a period of illness during which he received treatment at hospital facilities but ultimately succumbed to the condition.
The report further indicated that Muazu’s bereaved family disclosed he had been unwell even before his appointment as Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) and his swearing-in ceremony in April 2025.
News of his passing has sent shock waves through the Lawra community.
Muazu is expected to be flown from Accra to Wa and laid to rest according to Islamic rites on Tuesday, June 24, 2025.
During his appointment and subsequent confirmation as MCE, he secured a convincing victory, garnering 33 ‘yes’ votes.
The report added that Muazu’s final engagement as MCE was a visit alongside members of the Upper West Regional Security Council to commiserate with the school and the bereaved families following the tragic Lawra incident, in which seven students drowned while commuting on the Dikpe River.
Meanwhile, the assembly is yet to officially comment on the matter.
