Sad indeed. Kojo lost his cousin in Chicago just 10 days before this tragedy.

ABYSS:

According to scriptures the only power who can cast people to the abyss is the Lord Jesus Christ. When talking about abyss we are talking about deep hole like deep sea.

Respectfully to human culture from the beginnings of life a dead body, breatheless one, no matter who the person is in terms of life behaviour get burried in some form, unless it is the culture to burn or a choice for a body to be burnt.

When planes and ships capsize into the ocean, people comes together to rescue(save) bodies and gave them to families for burial, this is a form of last respect to the human, the body was. Not knowing, in our generation, there are a new form of powers that can cast a dead body into deep sea or permanent hole out of mail embezzlement and scripture truth of salvation, which many hardly understood including preachers, pastors, so call prophets and made believe priest of baals of our time. .Priest of baals because they are not levite tribe of the old judaism religion which the Lord Jesus Christ hated. Paul had to move from that religion of doom to get with God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob properly.

After Bin Laden was killed, the decent thing should have been done was to give the body to his family for burial, not thrown into deep sea, as if he was not part of human race. Those who did that placed themselves to the power of Jesus Christ. And there is a name for that in the bible which I don't want to say or write. You self "monknow".

Female passenger? Let`s hope we can get some useful answers from the survivor to help the police in their investigations.

"BANZA" journalism guaranteed at this website. You will never be disappointed. BANZA-generally means; WORST in one of the local languages spoken in Ghana.

Even if the news report was incomplete, you could have googled "Romeoville, USA". There could have been the theoretical possibility that there was more than one Romeoville but still you would have made some effort in this infotech-enabled world instead of feeling helpless and complaining .

Banza is a Hausa word. There are, of course, ethnic Hausa-speaking Ghanaians but Hausa originates from Northern Nigeria and Niger.

His female friend who was driving was able to get out. He wasn't driving, and rather could not get out. Huh. Does he have life insurance? and who is the beneficiary? I hope not the lady 'friend'. This is America. I hope the police will look well in to this 'accident' Again, just checking.

Can he swim and did he try to unbuckle his seat belt.This is sad. Familieas seat back in Ghana waiting for hand outs from relatives abroad because the notion is once you are out of the country you are rich. Kojo was makinga honest living and ends up like this. May his soul Rest in Peace.

The police has to critically looked into this. I know this KOjo guy to be a very careful guy and also very reserve. He was my friend from Ghana and I know for sometime was struggling to get his GC. Is this female passenger the wife? Something is not right here. Women of today are just ready to kill for life insurance. I am saying this because a Ghanaian lady and her mother nearly kill me for life insurance but I am alive today by the grace of God. I learn my lessons not to buy any life insurance until I become 80 years old.

Oh stop it already! Romeoville police & the fire department concluded that it was an accident, plus this young woman who could barely speak English was injured & extremely shaken at the accident site. Don't start any rumor, I'm pretty sure if the police suspect a foul play, they'll definitely investigate.

if you have younger kids???? who will need your financial support and your spouse and kids are now qualified for SS benefits when you accidentally die then MAYBE you don't have to be 80. Am just saying

Sad story as a mere 'conspirarcy theory' at your own peril! This is happening all over the place within our commuities;and the worst part of it that the perpertrators are the least you would suspect.

How come the girl was able to get out but not the man when it was the girl who was driving. Two possibilities! 1. Either the man was killed before the accident or 2. it was a purposeful plan to kill the man therefore was possibly restrained not to get out. A 54yr old man isn't so weak to open a car's door than a 25yr old girl.

Police said the female driver, a 25-year-old Romeoville woman, was able to get out of the water.

The late Kojo Pewudie was a cousin of the late Torgbe Wenya I of Chicago.

So you guys think this woman who's also a Ghanaian, deliberately submerged the car in the pond to cover up a murder? She won't be that stupid knowing darn well this man's cousin died less than 2 weeks ago & remain in the morgue as we speak. If it's her intent to murder this guy, she won't be that foolish to do so when Mr. Pewudie is in moaning. Nobody knows all the facts & so please, stop tarnishing this woman's image with your speculations.

Thank u Akos! Ghanaians talk too much. Why such rumor when the police haven't said anything about murder and the autopsy has not even done yet? Fools!

The report clearly states that the car crashed into a retention wall. The impact of that collision most likely would have rendered the deceased unconscious, followed by drowning. As you correctly pointed out, we don't have all the facts. Was the deceased wearing a seat belt? The seat belt, normally a life-saver, could have been a factor in the deceased drowning while unconscious. Better we all wait for the police investigation to conclude before jumping to negative conclusions!

HOW SAD! GONE TOO SOON! RIP KOJOVI. WHAT A TRAGIC ACCIDENT THAT CAN'T BE COMPREHENDED.

The woman learner stepped on the accelerator peddle instead of the brakes in a reverse motion. That sent them into the pond and the car landed on the side of KOJO knocking him unconscious and unable to exit the car, hence drowned in the car in the pond.
