Kobby GH allegedly shoots lover

Tuesday, June 10, 2025, was a fateful day for Kobby GH, some friends of his and Philippa, also known as Yaa Baby, or Yaa Yaa.

The social media personality and two other friends had travelled to a local community in Yeji after attending the late Mamponghene Daasebre Osei Bonsu II's funeral rites when he reportedly shot Yaa Baby.

Multiple reports indicated that GH Kobby accidentally shot his girlfriend in the left arm after he retrieved a gun from his luxurious car to fire warning shots in the air.

He reportedly rushed the lady to St. Martin’s Hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries shortly after arriving.

Philippa's sister speaks after her passing

Richlove, in a video, opened up about how her family learnt about the news. She claimed her sister had been in the care of Kobby for about a week, and the last time she heard from her was a few days ago when she sent her some videos on Snapchat.

"She looked like they were in a village, and she didn't show me a lot, so I left her chat to view more Snapchat stories.

"While doing so, I got to Kobby's profile, and he had shared some videos of them at the Mamponghene's funeral. Later, around 2 pm, I received a call from a police officer informing me that Kobby had shot my sister and she was no more," she said.

The visibly distraught grandmother also could not control her tears while accusing Kobby of intentionally shooting their child.

Eyewitness account of the unfortunate incident

According to a motorcycle rider who was a witness to this incident, one of the men in the blogger's group took a firearm from their car, which they were displaying to be out in public view, which concerned him.

He asked them, "Why are you showing that gun in public?" The group explained that the gun was for protection because of the increasing insecurity on the roads.

The witness stated that GH Kobby appeared inebriated, and they were warned several times to put the firearm away; they insisted that it was unloaded and did not present a risk.

The rider stated that the man took some ammunition out of his pocket and started loading the firearm after that.

In an effort to show that the pistol was not loaded, Philippa became the line of fire when the gun went off. The witness explained that the woman fell right away when she was shot. Moments before she died, she was able to utter her last words.

In the aftermath, chaos ensued. To begin, there were a few individuals attempting to run away from the incident. One person suggested instead of running away, they take her to the hospital.

Despite their efforts, Philippa was declared dead upon arrival, leaving family, friends, and followers of the couple devastated.
