Vida Adutwumwaa, the newly appointed Public Relations Officer (PRO) representative for Ghanaian dancehall artist Stonebwoy, has hinted a debate by calling on the family of journalist Kofi Adoma Nwanwani to pursue legal action against the Dormaahene following a recent incident that resulted in Adoma’s eye injury.
Speaking as a pundit on the popular Ghanaian television program “United Showbiz” on Saturday, March 15, 2025, Adutwumwaa expressed her strong disapproval of the incident, which occurred while Kofi Adoma was covering a festival in Dormaa. She criticized the family’s apparent focus on seeking public sympathy, arguing that legal accountability should be the primary course of action.
Adutwumwaa emphasized that the Dormaahene, who invited Kofi Adoma to the festival, bears a significant responsibility for the journalist’s safety. She asserted that the incident, which involved Kofi Adoma being struck in the eye by a stray bullet, warrants a thorough legal investigation and appropriate consequences.
Her stance has sparked a discussion about the responsibilities of traditional leaders when inviting media personnel to cover events. Adutwumwaa’s call for legal action highlights the importance of ensuring the safety and security of journalists, particularly when they are covering events in potentially harzadous environments.
The incident involving Kofi Adoma Nwanwani has raised concerns about the need for stricter safety protocols at public gatherings, especially those involving the use of firearms or other potentially dangerous activities. Adutwumwaa’s comments have drawn attention to the legal avenues available to victims of such incidents and the importance of holding those responsible accountable.
While the family of Kofi Adoma Nwanwani has yet to publicly respond to Adutwumwaa’s call for legal action, her comments have generated considerable interest and debate among the Ghanaian public. The incident serves as a reminder of the risks faced by journalists in the line of duty and the importance of advocating for their safety and legal rights. Adutwumwaa’s outspoken stance has placed the spotlight on the need for decisive action to ensure that such incidents are not repeated.
