His left eye was badly injured as a result of the shooting incident, leaving him unable to work at full capacity.
Owing to this, Kofi Adoma, as he is affectionately called, was rushed to Dubai for urgent medical treatment.
Following his return to Ghana a few days ago, he held a press briefing to address several issues regarding his eye accident.
He also used the opportunity to refute some false claims made by Vincent Opare, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Angel FM, the media house he works for as a broadcast journalist.
The Ghanaian journalist said he was extremely disappointed in the statement made by Opare, adding that it attracted negative energy towards him.
"While I was reeling in pain in a hospital bed undergoing treatment, one of the three people I travelled with played a video from his phone, where I heard my own CEO, Vincent, making some unfortunate statements about the situation. Vincent cares more about the company's brand than my life. You don't care about my emotions; you don't know what I'm going through," he said.
