Prof Francis Allotey has died at 85

Renowned Mathematician, Professor Francis Kofi Ampenyin Allotey is reported to have passed away Thursday night after complaining of discomfort.

A family member, Sarah Ofei, said the professor passed at about 10pm after he was rushed to the hospital.

"Around 10 am Thursday morning he complained he did not feel well so we sent him to the hospital," she said.

The Nuclear Physicist was discharged the same day. But the family rushed him back to the hospital after the discomfort resurfaced in the evening.

'In less than 30 minutes after arriving at the hospital, he passed on', she said. He was 85 years old.

Sarah Offei said Ghana's first professor of mathematics was not sick and was preparing for a UNESCO conference on Saturday where he was to be honoured.
