New details have emerged following the tragic shooting incident in Yeji involving popular Ghanaian TikToker, GH Kobby, and his late girlfriend, Philipha Frimpong, also known as Yaa Baby.
As earlier reported by GhanaWeb, the incident took place after a group of friends: GH Kobby, Kwadwo Emmanuel, and Michael Kabutey were seen having a meal with the victim before the fatal shooting occurred.
In a new development, an eyewitness who claims to have been present at the scene has narrated what transpired.
The witness, who also said he hosted GH Kobby and the victim at his home, recounted the chilling sequence of events.
“What happened is that they came to my place to study because they are students. That’s how we became friends. Around 2 p.m., I got a call from them saying they wanted to visit. When they arrived, we were chatting, and Kobby asked Ashawo to bring a gun from the car,” he said.
According to the eyewitness, he warned GH Kobby to be careful with the firearm, especially since Kobby appeared unfamiliar with how to load it.
“When Ashawo brought the gun, he and the others left the scene. I told Kobby to be careful because he said he wanted to fire a warning shot. He was struggling to load the bullets. I even told the lady [Yaa Baby] to move away from him, but she didn’t listen,” he added.
Narrating the incident further, he said moments later, the gun discharged.
“After loading the bullets, he tried to close the chamber, and that’s when he accidentally pulled the trigger. All we heard from Yaa Baby was, ‘Have you seen? You’ve killed me,’ before she collapsed,” he stated.
The eyewitness also refuted viral claims that GH Kobby placed Yaa Baby’s body in the boot of their CRV vehicle or that there had been an argument between the two prior to the shooting.
“After she fell, we placed her inside the car, not the car boot, as people are saying. When they drove off, I immediately called the police. The bullet hit her left arm and was heading toward her chest, not her private part. And there was no argument between them,” he clarified.
Meanwhile, investigations are still ongoing, with many calling for thorough examination of the events leading up to the tragic death of Yaa Baby.
