On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, reports emerged that the late Samuel Aboagye's family had dragged the deceased's US-based wife to the Obuasi District Court.
According to Kumasi-based radio station Angel 96.1 FM's court correspondent, the dispute between the late politician's family and wife pertained to a DNA test for the deceased's daughter.
The Angel FM reporter claimed that the issues arose after the government of Ghana requested DNA samples from immediate family members to identify the remains of the politician who died in the tragic August 6, 2025, helicopter crash near Obuasi.
Dispute in Samuel Aboagye’s family over DNA
Reports also indicated that Samuel Aboagye's wife had repeatedly refused to allow the government to conduct the DNA test and that another relative stood in her child's place instead.
They claimed that the late former Obuasi East NDC parliamentary candidate's wife, Abigail, had been in an alleged secret romantic relationship with a prominent MP before and after his demise.
The family claimed that the late Deputy Director of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) had allegedly raised concerns over the paternity of his child with his wife.
She has also been accused of running away from Ghana and returning to the US with her daughter to escape from her late husband's family.
Abigail had also filed a case at the Obuasi District Court, calling on them to block the family's attempt to seek a DNA test.
Both parties have made several court appearances, with the judge adjourning the case to later dates.
