Dickson Kwabena Osei’s alleged last days
Following his death, Akoma FM in Kumasi spoke to a reporter in the community who shared details of Dickson Kwabena Osei’s alleged last days.
According to the reporter, Prince Kwaku Baah, his investigations found out that the Assembly Member had been telegraphing his action in recent days.
Baah stated that he had found out that the politician was dating a young woman with whom he was expecting a child in a few months.
The reporter alleged that on January 1, Dickson Kwabena Osei told some friends that they should take care of his girlfriend on his behalf when she delivers.
Prince Kwaku Baah also alleged that he had called some friends a day before his death and disclosed his plans to them.
Despite these findings, the reporter said none of the deceased politician’s friends could provide a reason that could motivate such an action.
The reporter also said a financial or debt motive could be ruled out as the late assembly member had both his mother and brother abroad and lived in a home built by them.
