Two weeks ago, a young man named Kofi Gyamena, a resident of Kumasi, appeared on the popular Oyerepa Afutuo radio/TV program. Auntie Narh’s show featured Kofi, who was accused of impregnating a minor named Patricia.
Patricia, under the guidance of her grandmother, lodged a complaint against Kofi Gyamena for his alleged actions. Auntie Narh, the program’s host, expressed her frustration and questioned Kofi Gyamena about his involvement in the affair. Kofi Gyamena vehemently denied any wrongdoing, maintaining his innocence despite the host’s persistent inquiries.
In response to these allegations, Auntie Narh proposed a DNA test to determine the truth. She set a two-week timeline for the process, during which her team would collect the necessary samples.
The authorities sent the DNA samples to the UK for analysis, and the experts shared the results during the live broadcast. The findings unequivocally proved Kofi Gyamena’s innocence, and as a result, the authorities exonerated him from all charges.
Kofi Gyamena revealed that he first learned about Patricia’s pregnancy through a violent encounter. The incident involved physical abuse and threats from Patricia’s father and younger brother, which led to his arrest. He also mentioned that the assault resulted in the destruction of his boxer shorts.
Kofi Gyamena’s ordeal took a dramatic turn when DNA technology proved his innocence, clearing him of all allegations. However, the host turned the attention to Patricia, questioning her about the pregnancy’s responsibility. Unfortunately, she failed to provide a clear answer, instead naming a witness who had since relocated to another town.
A group of women from Kejetia market area and Adum gathered at Oyerepa studios, determined to publicly shame Patricia for her actions. One woman stood out, chastising Patricia for her disrespect and lack of accountability.
Auntie Narh, who holds a Master’s degree in Conflict Resolution and Executive Leadership, has shown a keen interest in using this case as an opportunity to educate the public, especially young girls, about the consequences of such actions.
