Renowned journalist Kofi Adomah Nwanwani has shared his first public statement following a tragic incident that nearly cost him his sight.
He revealed that he is enduring severe pain and a constant headache, making it difficult for him to rest or sleep despite multiple medical treatments.
“I want to talk before anything happens. I’m in severe pain with my head aching badly, but I need to speak out before anything happens,” he said, visibly emotional.
The broadcaster was injured during a musketry display in Dormaa in December 2024 when gunpowder residue struck his eye.
Despite the injury, he remained committed to covering the festival, even traveling to Dubai for treatment.
However, Kofi expressed disappointment that his people had abandoned him during his recovery and alleged attempts by some traditional leaders in Dormaa to cover up the incident to avoid public embarrassment.
“If anybody will do this to me, I didn’t expect it to come from Bono people,” he lamented.
Despite the setbacks, Kofi expressed gratitude to God for sparing his life and thanked his family and Ghanaians for their prayers and support.
