Ghanaian broadcaster Kofi Adomah has voiced his surprise and disappointment over the Dormaahene, Osagyefo Nana Agyeman Badu II’s lack of concern following the severe eye injury he sustained while covering the Kwafie Festival in Dormaa Ahenkro.
Addressing the issue publicly for the first time, Kofi Adomah, with his family and wife by his side, recounted the harrowing ordeal that left him with a severe eye injury.
According to him, he had been invited by a chief in the Bono Region to cover the 25th anniversary of the Dormaahene’s enstoolment. However, the joyous occasion took a tragic turn when he was suddenly shot.
“I travelled to Dormaa with my team to honour the invitation. While covering the event, I was suddenly shot, and I began to bleed profusely. I completely lost vision in one eye,” he recounted.
He was immediately rushed to the Dormaa Hospital for emergency treatment. Despite his initial determination to continue covering the event, his condition worsened, prompting his transfer to Accra and subsequently abroad for specialized medical care.
What has shocked Kofi Adomah the most, however, is the Dormaahene’s silence following the incident.
“I’m truly surprised. I returned to my hometown to cover a significant celebration and ended up injured, yet I’ve not received even a phone call from the Dormaahene. I’m not expecting money or compensation I just think a simple gesture of concern would have been the right thing to do,” he stated.
Kofi Adomah emphasized that his disappointment is not about financial support but about what he believes to be a basic act of courtesy and empathy from the traditional leader.
