A popular TikTok personality known as GH Kobby has been arrested following the fatal shooting of his girlfriend, identified as Yaa Baby, at Yeji in the Bono East Region.

According to reports, the incident occurred on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, during what initially appeared to be a social visit to the town.

GH Kobby was accompanied by Yaa Baby and two other men, Kojo Emmanuel and Michael Kabutey, to Seker, a village near Yeji in the Pru East District.

The group's visit began peacefully, with the party visiting a residence where GH Kobby had stayed for his community service while attending the University of Development Studies (UDS). They were reportedly welcomed by locals and offered food during their stay.

However, the situation turned tragic when one of the men allegedly returned to their vehicle to retrieve a firearm. Witnesses reported that the weapon was loaded in full view of others present. Before anyone could intervene, a gunshot rang out, fatally wounding Yaa Baby.

He reportedly rushed the lady to St. Mathias Hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries shortly after arriving.
