Media personality Kofi Adoma Nwanwani has broken his silence on a recent incident that left him with a severe eye injury, revealing that he decided to share his story now out of fear that it may soon be too late.
Speaking at an emergency meeting held on Thursday, March 2025, to clarify the details of the tragic event that occurred in December 2024 and to provide an update on his recovery, Kofi Adoma addressed the growing speculation and concerns surrounding the incident.
The incident took place while Kofi Adoma was covering the Dormaa Kwafie festival in the Bono Region.
He was accidentally shot in the face with a musket, resulting in severe damage to his eyes and necessitating multiple surgeries.
Reflecting on the ordeal, he expressed gratitude for being given a second chance at life, acknowledging how close he came to tragedy, moved by the realisation that the gathering could have easily been for his funeral.
“When I looked at the number of people gathered here, all I could think was that this could have been my funeral. I recently heard about a similar incident in Nungua where the victim did not survive. All I can say is that God loves me,” he added.
He noted that he had to break silence urgently before his future becomes uncertain.
“As I speak to you, my head aches so badly. I have decided to speak before whatever is meant to happen, happens. At least, if I am able to speak before what is meant to occur does, I would have shared my truth already. The narratives I’ve heard about the incident were disheartening,” he said.
