• An alleged eyewitness has spoken out about the tragic shooting incident involving GH Kobby's girlfriend, Philippa
• A motorcycle rider, based in Yeji, claimed in a video that the incident was an accident but Kobby had been warned
• Philippa’s sister also claimed that the blogger regularly carried a pump-action shotgun with him when travelling

A new twist has emerged in the death of Philippa, the girlfriend of popular Ghanaian blogger GH Kobby, following an eyewitness account that makes fresh claims about the events leading up to the tragedy.

According to a motorbike rider stationed at Yeji, who claimed to have been present at the scene, the shooting incident occurred during a stopover in Yeji, where Kobby and Philippa had travelled together.

Before the motorbike rider's account, there had been several reports suggesting that Kobby accidentally shot Philippa in an attempt to ward off criminals while leaving Yeji. However, this claim has been disputed.

The eyewitness, a local familiar with the area, has since claimed that the couple had stopped in town in search of food, specifically meat, but were told it was unavailable at that hour.

Rider claims GH Kobby shot by accident

The motorcycle rider alleged that one of the men in the blogger's group had retrieved a firearm from their car, prompting concern.

He reportedly questioned why such a weapon was being displayed in public. In response, the group explained that the gun was for protection due to increasing insecurity on the roads.

According to the witness, GH Kobby appeared to be intoxicated and despite repeated warnings to put the weapon away, they insisted the gun was not loaded and posed no danger.

However, the rider then claimed the man took ammunition out of his pocket and began loading the weapon.

While attempting to demonstrate that the gun was harmless, it went off, with Philippa in the line of fire.

Aftermath of GH Kobby shooting incident

The eyewitness said the lady collapsed immediately after being hit. In her final moments, she spoke her final words before passing away.

Chaos followed the incident, with some of the group initially attempting to flee. However, one member advised that they take her to the hospital instead.

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