The media personality announced his departure on Thursday, 17 September 2026, through a heartfelt TikTok video that quickly gained traction online.
The clip, filmed inside the Multimedia Group Limited's Nhyira FM studio, captured the raw emotion of a final working day.
On-screen text displayed a "Thank You" message signed off as Sokoban Fatilow expressed gratitude to both his colleagues and the listeners who followed his work over the years.
In the footage, the atmosphere shifted between tearful and celebratory as studio staff exchange warm embraces and share farewell moments with the departing presenter.
Sokoban Fatilow's farewell at Nhyira FM
Fatilow's five years at Nhyira FM established him as a recognisable voice in Kumasi's radio landscape, and the weight of his exit was evident in how his colleagues responded on camera.
Looking back on his time at the popular station, the presenter described the experience as transformative, crediting his audience for turning his raw passion into a professional career.
"You turned a young commentator who had only passion into a Sports Journalist living his dream," he wrote in the post.
His tenure at Nhyira FM covered some of the sport's biggest occasions, from late-night UEFA Champions League broadcasts to early morning Premier Sports programmes.
The variety of shows he anchored helped him build a loyal following among Ghanaian football fans who tuned in regularly for his coverage.
The now former Nhyira FM presenter saved particular praise for his leadership team, naming station boss Mr James Aglah alongside his editors and colleagues for the trust they placed in him throughout his time there.
"This is not goodbye, it's just the end of one chapter and the beginning of another," he noted, signalling that his departure is a deliberate career move rather than a final exit from broadcasting.
What comes next for Sokoban Fatilow?
The presenter has kept his next move close to his chest for now, only hinting that an announcement is on the way.
"I will announce what is next soon," he wrote, urging his supporters to stay with him as he embarks on this new phase.
His departure adds his name to a growing list of established media personalities in Ghana who have left major broadcasting houses in recent months to pursue fresh opportunities elsewhere, whether in rival stations, independent media ventures, or digital platforms.
His decision to document and share the moment publicly gave fans a rare behind-the-scenes look at life inside one of Ghana's prominent regional radio stations, and the response online suggests the video struck a chord with a wide audience.
