He gave a detailed account of that day in an interview with Gossip24TV.

When he returned home, he found his son badly beaten, with allegations that Kobby had been accused of stealing mangoes.

Kobby's father's struggle to access medical care
Desperate to get his son treated, the father said he visited three separate hospitals before Kobby could receive any care.
At the first facility, he claimed a nurse refused to attend to his son until he paid GH¢400.
He described the process of raising that sum as extremely difficult, forcing him to take him to another hospital.
Despite those efforts, Kobby's condition had deteriorated beyond recovery, and he later died.
Before heading to the hospital, the father said he confronted one of the suspects, whom he identified as Davi, reportedly connected to the beating, and warned her that an arrest would follow if anything happened to Kobby.
He subsequently reported the matter to the police and filed a formal case.
The father said authorities gave him a document to present to the first hospital, which was the point at which he was allegedly asked to pay the GH¢400 before any step would be taken.

Kobby's father expresses frustration over legal proceedings
The suspect named in the case was arrested but has reportedly been released on bail, a development that has clearly unsettled Kobby's father.
He expressed strong disappointment with the pace and direction of the proceedings, stressing that the matter remains unresolved before the court.
He also indicated his intention to push for the financial costs incurred by the family during Kobby's medical care to be factored into the case.
Adding to his frustration, the father said neither the suspect nor any of their associates had visited the family to offer condolences or express remorse.
He further alleged that the suspect had enlisted the help of an unnamed religious figure to try to sway the outcome of the case.
That claim has not been independently verified and reflects solely the account given by Kobby's father.
Despite the grief surrounding the family, the father said plans are in place to give his son a proper burial.
