Ghanaian broadcaster, Kofi Adomah Nwanwanii, has disclosed that at a time during his accident, he wished for death rather than living with the pain and negative narratives surrounding his gunshot incident.
Speaking at a press conference on March 13, 2025, alongside his wife, Kofi recounted the emotional trauma he endured after being shot in the eye while covering the Kwafie festival in Dormaa in December 2024.
“At one point, I thought it was better to die than to live because of some of the narratives I was hearing about myself,” he bitterly lamented.
Kofi also admitted that the emotional and financial burden, combined with the pain he experienced, left him questioning the value of life.
“When I considered the money being discussed and felt the pain I was experiencing, I wondered what there was to live for,” he added.
What led to Kofi Adomah’s current situation?
A few months ago, Kofi Adomah Nwanwanii, along with his team from Angel FM/TV, Kofi TV, and MagrahebTV, traveled to Dormaa Ahenkro in the Bono Region of Ghana to cover the Dormaa Kwafie festival and the 25th anniversary of the enstoolment of Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II.
While covering the event, Kofi was shot in the face by one of the gunmen wielding a musket, causing severe damage to his eyes and necessitating a series of surgeries on both eyes.
A GoFundMe account has also been created to solicit funds for another upcoming surgery.
