He then shared his lived experience and opened up about how he travelled to South Africa and Malaysia in a desperate attempt to restore his eyesight.

Otwinoko further lashed out at people who have made negative comments about Kofi Adoma's injury after getting shot in the face covering an event.

"I have heard people demanding Kofi Adoma make accounts of the monies donated to the broadcaster for his eye injury. He should render accounts to who. Is that how some Ghanaians are? Look at how this young man has impacted the lives of people in the country. Provide a single video of what he has done against anybody, he wants the truth. What wrong has he done? Don't you have empathy, what you will get if he dies?" he said.

Otwinoko recounted how he became visually impaired in the 2000s and shared how his relatives forbade contributions from well-meaning Ghanaians to fund his eye treatment.
