L-R: Dormaahene, Kofi Adomah and Dr. Kwaku Oteng
Media personality Nana Yaa Brefo has urged some prominent figures in the country to support her colleague, Kofi Adomah Nwanwani, who is battling a severe health condition.
She specifically called on the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Angel Group of Companies, Dr. Kwaku Oteng, and the traditional ruler of the Dormaa Traditional Area, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II, criticizing their lack of financial assistance.
Speaking on Angel FM, the Onua FM presenter expressed frustration over Dr. Oteng’s apparent reluctance to make a significant contribution toward Adomah’s eye surgery, which has led to the creation of a GoFundMe account to cover his medical expenses.
“I want to tell Dr. Kwaku Oteng that this is a small matter, something he could easily handle. If Kofi were his child, he would do much more than what he is doing now.
“It should not have reached the point where a GoFundMe account had to be created for him,” she said in Twi.
She also appealed to the Dormaahene, urging him to contribute financially, as Kofi Adomah hails from his jurisdiction.
She encouraged the chief not to be swayed by negative remarks from others.
“Nana Dormaahene and Hemaa, any support will be appreciated. If for nothing at all, he comes from your town. Don’t let what people are saying discourage you from commenting on the matter or contributing financially. Don’t let people criticize you for being indifferent to this issue,” Yaa Brefo noted.
Kofi Adomah’s medical struggles
Her plea comes after a series of surgeries were performed on Kofi Adomah, who was shot in the eye and is currently fighting to regain his sight.
A GoFundMe account has been launched to help cover the Ghanaian journalist’s medical bills for another upcoming surgery.
A few months ago, Kofi Adomah, 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 the Dormaahene.
During the event, Kofi was shot in the face by an assailant wielding a musket, causing severe damage to his eyes and necessitating urgent surgeries on both.
As he continues to battle for his recovery, calls for financial assistance from well-meaning individuals and institutions are growing.
