I Knew He Was Going To Die Soon—Maurice Ampaw On Why He Didn’t Respond To Wofa KK’s Attacks
Celebrity lawyer Maurice Ampaw revealed that shortly before the death of journalist and on-air personality Wofa KK, he (Wofa KK) publicly insulted him without any provocation.
Lawrence Ampaw told ace broadcaster Fiifi Pratt that Wofa KK had targeted him on social media, labelling him as a foolish lawyer for his defence of Chairman Wontumi in the Manhyia case.
Despite the harsh words directed towards him, Lawrence Ampaw said he chose not to respond, as he had a premonition of Wofa KK’s imminent death. True to his intuition, Wofa KK passed away the following day, without any prior indication of illness or poor health.
Fiffi Praat inquired Maurice Ampaw about the prevalence of insults in political discussions instead of maintaining a respectful approach to conveying their message.
In reply, the renowned lawyer acknowledged that many prominent journalists are indeed responsible for this trend, which is detrimental to the overall decorum of the airwaves.
Oman FM’s Wofa KK, whose real name is Kwabena Kwakye sadly passed away on February 14, 2023 as reported by Tru News Report and other mainstream websites in Ghana. Wofa KK, per the report by Adom FM’s Akwasi Agyemang arrived for work but fell ill, resulting in his untimely demise.
Kwakye made significant contributions to Oman FM’s programming, particularly on shows like “Boiling Point” and “National Agenda,” where he often filled in for the regular host, Fiifi Boafo. Before his time at Oman FM, he worked with Adom 106.3 FM, a subsidiary radio station of Multimedia Group Limited.
Additionally, he served as a parliamentary and presidential correspondent for Net2 TV. Throughout his career, Kwakye collaborated with esteemed individuals such as Professor Kofi Agyekum, Professor Kwesi Yankah, Mr. Kwabena Agyapong, and Hon. K.T. Hammond, who currently serves as the Trade Minister.
He also played a crucial role in supporting Kenneth Agyapong during his presidential candidacy bid within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), although he ultimately faced defeat against Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia.
In 2017, President Akufo-Addo appointed Kwabena Kwakye to the Board of the Ghana National Petroleum Company (GNPC), under the chairmanship of former acting National Chairman of the NPP, Freddie Blay.
