Her weeping mother shared the contents of their final conversation in an interview with Ghanaian media outlet GH Page.

She stated her firm belief that the call was from her daughter’s ghost.

Popular Ghanaian social media personality, Hayford Boateng, popularly known as GH Kobby, was arrested for allegedly shooting his girlfriend at Seker in Yeji on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.

The couple and two friends identified as Kojo Emmanuel and Michael Kabutey had visited the area for some recreational activities after attending the ongoing funeral of the Mamponghene, Daasebre Nana Osei Bonsu II, in Kumasi.

Their vacation time became deadly when GH Kobby retrieved a gun from his car to fire warning shots, which accidentally struck his girlfriend.

She was rushed to St Martin’s Hospital, where she passed away.
