Nana Yaa Brefo and Ibrahim Mahama
Media personality, Nana Yaa Brefo, has provided an update on broadcaster Kofi Adoma’s health condition, confirming that businessman, Ibrahim Mahama, has contributed $115,000 towards his eye surgery.
This comes amid public speculations about whether Mahama fulfilled his promise to support Adoma’s medical expenses.
Kofi Adoma, a well-known broadcaster, has been receiving treatment in Dubai after he was hit in the eyes by gunpowder residue while covering a funeral at Kumasi.
Speaking on her radio show on Onua FM, on February 21, 2025, Nana Yaa Brefo expressed frustration at those questioning Mahama’s commitment, stating, “Why would you think he couldn’t fulfil his promise? Someone who is one of the richest men in Ghana, with lots of properties?”
She disclosed that after the issue came to light, popular businessman and philanthropist, Ibrahim Mahama, had called to support Adoma’s treatment.
She stated that Mahama fulfilled his promise by donating $115,000 for the first surgery.
“He called me and inquired about the incident. I told him everything. He then asked, ‘How much is needed for the surgery?’ When I asked her, she said $120,000. I informed him, and he sent $115,000. That’s what we used for the first surgery,” she said.
Nana Yaa Brefo also clarified why a GoFundMe campaign was launched despite Mahama’s contribution.
She explained that the initial incident affected both of Adoma’s eyes, and a second surgery is now required.
“The first surgery is done, but he has another surgery to go. That’s why we’ve launched another GoFundMe,” she said.
