Following initial reports that seasoned broadcaster Kofi Adomah suffered injuries to his eyes due to residues from gunpowder, his wife, Miracle Adomah has come out to set the records straight, clarifying that her husband was shot in the eyes.
In a video shared by Kofi TV on January 18, 2025, Miracle Adomah, who is also the Benkum Hemaa of Gomoa Amforo, stated that the journalist was shot in the face and that it wasn’t gunpowder as speculated in the media.
“We all know that before someone shoots a gun during a festival, the person shoots to the skies but this time around the person who pulled the trigger didn’t shoot into the sky. He placed the gun on his shoulder and pulled the trigger. So the person shot my husband in the face and it wasn’t just gunpowder. Even the camera he was working with fell.
“If you watch the video you can see blood oozing out of him. A young lady was there who called for help and he was rushed to the hospital,” she said.
Miracle Adomah added that he received prompt medical attention in Dormaa and when the situation became critical, he was rushed to Berekum Hospital for further attention.
“The doctors who treated him did well. Because they tried their best to make sure he didn’t lose his eyesight. He was transferred to Berekum for a scan and after he was transferred back to Accra… The incident happened on a Friday,” she added.
Miracle Adomah also debunked claims that she was present at the festival.
“There is news speculating that I was present at the festival because I was sworn in recently as a queen mother so I was invited to the programme. But I want to say that I wasn’t present. With all humility, I wasn’t present at the event.”
