After a series of surgeries have been performed on Kofi Adomah Nwanwanii, who was shot in the eye and currently battling, a GoFundMe account has been set up to help cover the Ghanaian journalist’s medical bills for another upcoming surgery.
The campaign, titled ‘Support for Kofi Adomah’s eye surgery’, was launched by popular Ghanaian blogger Magreheb.
According to the statement on the GoFundMe page, it has become necessary to raise funds, as additional surgeries are still required.
The statement also stated that those responsible for Kofi Adomah’s current situation, particularly those directly involved, have neglected him.
“Some of the surgeries have been completed, but there are still more to go. The cost of these surgeries is substantial, and the people who were supposed to take responsibility have decided to do nothing about it,” part of the statement reads.
Meanwhile, as of February 21, 2025, a total of €4,339 has been raised toward the €50,000 target.
What led to Kofi Adomah’s current situation?
A few months ago, Kofi Adomah Nwanwanii, along with his team from Angel FM/TV, Kofi TV, and MagrahebTV, traveled to Dormaa Ahenkro in the Bono Region of Ghana to cover the Dormaa Kwafie festival and the 25th anniversary of the enstoolment of Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyeman Badu II.
While covering the event, Kofi was shot in the face by one of the gunmen wielding a musket, causing severe damage to his eyes and necessitating urgent surgeries on both eyes.
Although he was recently flown to Dubai for surgery, thanks to the kind support of individuals like Ibrahim Mahama, Kofi Adomah is expected to undergo another surgery to ensure his full recovery.
He has since received support from individuals such as gospel musician Nacee, who is actively encouraging people on social media to donate to the GoFundMe account.
