Kofi Wayo's associate raises concerns amid absence

In an interview with veteran Ghanaian media personality Kofi Adoma Nwanwani on his Kofi TV YouTube channel on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, Ibrahim Zakaria noted that he had not seen the exact location and current state of Kofi Wayo.

He noted that he recently had a dream where he visited the former politician's home to give him a haircut but was denied access to him by his family while he was indoors.

Ibrahim stated that he became concerned about Wayo after his dream and reached out to veteran media personality Blakk Rasta, with whom he visited the politician's residence on Tuesday, March 3, 2026.

However, they were blocked from gaining access to the former party leader. He claimed that he realised the politician was ill following the incident at his residence.

Ibrahim accused Wayo's family of allegedly hiding him in the residence amid his alleged health issues.
