A youth group in Dormaa known as Bonokyempem Association has reacted to Kofi Adoma Nwanwani's eye accident.

The group at a press conference clarified matters and refuted claims that the Dormaahene had neglected the broadcaster after the incident.

In the video, the group explained that the Dormaahene tried on various occasions to reach the broadcaster after the accident and support with US$5,000, an equivalent of GH¢77,305.65 but has since not been able to reach him since the broadcaster has not been responsive.

Additionally, the group asked Kofi and his associates to provide evidence of his eye injury so they could offer the necessary support.

Bonokyempem press conference

On Tuesday, February 2025, the Bonokyempem Association held a press conference to explain the events that led to Kofi's eye accident and events thereafter. The press conference was addressed by the President of the group, Gideon Fosu.

Watch the video below:

Gideon confirmed that Kofi was responsible for the coverage of the Kwafie festival and presented a budget of GH¢55,000 for his role in promoting the event.

Giving a breakdown of the budget, they said Kofi Adoma charged GH¢30,000 for Angel TV's coverage, and GH¢15,000 for GH¢10,000 for Magraheb, another vlogger.

Kofi was initially paid GH¢20,000 and was expected to receive the rest of the GH¢55,000 after the event. However, the unfortunate incident happened and the remaining amount was unpaid.
