The circumstances behind the Wednesday, February 14, 2024, death of well-known radio host Kwabena Kwakye have been made public.

It is reported that Wofa KK, the anchor of the political discussion show Boiling Point on Accra’s Oman FM, passed out on Wednesday morning while at work.

The son of Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP) Kenneth Takyi Agyapong gave a detailed account of his demise, stating that he was speaking with Mr. Kwakye when the regrettable event occurred.

Kenneth who is the Director of Television at Kencity Media recounted the deceased slumped in his hands.

“I was showing a new lady who has joined the team around and took him to the Oman FM studio to meet Wofa and his team who were on a break at the time. I asked how he was doing and introduced the lady to him.”

“While I was talking, his head was down without a response. I repeated myself to him and this time he lifted his head and told me to hold him but he held me instead and fell unconsciously in my hands,” he narrated on Accra-based Net 2 TV.

Wofa KK was taken to the hospital via car, according to Mr. Agyapong, but by the time they got there, he had already passed away.

“We went to the hospital with two cars with double hazard lights. We were able to make our way from the office area through to Okponglo. With the hazards on and the continuous honking, nobody was willing to make way for us.”

“I got out of the car, took off my footwear, and ran through the middle of the road to beg for drivers to makes way for us. To be honest, it was yesterday, I got to know that some drivers are really wicked. I am saying that because if it was a Land Cruiser, they would have given way,” Mr Agyapong said sadly.
