Awatey, the founder and CEO of Accra-based Dofopa FM, made his last post on November 25, 2026.
The post appeared on both his Facebook and Instagram pages and was a promotional graphic encouraging people to travel to Russia.
The image carried the bold inscription “Time to Travel - Russia,” accompanied by pictures of popular Russian landmarks and city scenes. It also included contact numbers for people interested in travelling.
At the time it was shared, the post appeared to be a regular advertisement related to travel opportunities. It did not attract much attention beyond the usual engagement from followers on his page.
However, the post has now drawn renewed attention after news emerged that Awatey had travelled to Russia and later died there.
Samuel Awatey reportedly died in Russia-Ukraine war
Reports indicate that the Ghanaian journalist left Ghana and eventually joined Russian military operations linked to the ongoing conflict involving Russia. He was later said to have died during a drone attack on the battlefield.
Following the news of his death, social media users began revisiting his pages, where the November post remains visible as his last public update.
The promotional advert about travelling to Russia has therefore become the final post he shared online before his trip to the country.
