Ghanaian broadcaster Kofi Adomah Nwanwani has shared an update on his health after a lengthy recovery period following a shooting injury to his eye several months ago. In a video posted to his Kofi TV YouTube channel on May 22, 2025, Kofi expressed his gratitude to numerous individuals and donors who supported him during this challenging time. He also praised businessman Ibrahim Mahama for his generosity and willingness to go the extra mile, including offering to fly him on his private jet.
“Today is just to say thank you, but as I have said, I won’t leave any issue unanswered. Whatever needs to be done will be done because what I went through, at a point, I felt it was my end. I felt that it could have been my death because someone was shot in the leg at Teshie Nungua, and she died. Mine was in the face, and when you look at the scans that were conducted, as I speak now, there are still particles in there, which they say I have to live with for a period,” he stated.
Kofi vowed to clarify and explain some controversies surrounding the incident in subsequent videos. On the current status of his eyes, Kofi Adomah revealed that, although his sight is not as it used to be, he is recovering and currently able to see following extensive surgeries and treatment.
“Now I can say that, while my eyes are not like they used to be, I can now see you if you are standing before me. I can read messages. When the text is small, I can take a screenshot and zoom in to read. So, I am able to help myself, and I am grateful for where the Lord has brought me. I am very grateful to Ghanaians,” he said.
Kofi Adomah Nwanwani was shot in the face on December 21, 2024, during the 25th-anniversary celebration of Dormaahene Osagyefo Oseadeyo Agyemang Badu Il at the Kwafie Festival in Dormaa Ahenkro, Bono Region.
While covering the event, Kofi was struck in the eye by a musket shot fired at close range by a chief’s bodyguard during a traditional musketry display. Kofi received initial treatment at Dormaa Presbyterian Hospital and Berekum Holy Family Hospital before being flown to Dubai for advanced medical care which was sponsored by businessman Ibrahim Mahama.
