It has been reported that the late John Kumah's wife formally complained to the Ghana Police Service, requesting an explanation from Captain Smart of Onua TV regarding her husband's demise. Tragically, Dr. John Kumah, 45, Deputy Finance Minister and Ejisu Member of Parliament (MP), passed away in the early hours of Thursday, March 7, after a brief illness. In response to the Deputy Minister's deteriorating health during the ambulance ride from Kumasi to Accra, the Kumah family announced an unanticipated detour to the Suhum Government Hospital.
It was after that day that the Deputy Minister died. His only living relatives include the apostle, Mrs. Lilian Kumah, and her six children. During the time of mourning after Dr. Kumah's death, multiple videos featuring Captain Smart—host of Onua TV—surfaced online. In these recordings, Smart asserts that the late congressman and other important NPP members were poisoned. Claiming to have evidence to support his assertions, Smart challenged critics to approach him with proof, highlighting Dr. Kumah's troubles caused by the poisoning charges.
These terrible accusations severely unsettled Apostle Mrs. Lilian Kumah, and she moved quickly to take action. She officially filed a complaint with the Ghana Police Service at the Accra Central Divisional Headquarters on Friday, March 8, in an attempt to get to the bottom of the serious claims made in the video that went viral and uncover the truth about her husband's murder. Reliable sources indicate that Apostle Kumah alleged in her complaint that Smart's accusations were baseless and brought disgrace to the honor of her late husband. She was so distraught about the coldness displayed to the grieving family that she insisted the authorities punish the liars immediately.
False information can be even more hurtful to those who are already grieving, as this family's demands for justice demonstrate. Whatever may have transpired, John Kumah's wife is resolute in her pursuit of answers and justice. As the investigation continues, Apostle Kumah's call to action brings attention to the bigger issue of responsible journalism and the fallout from unfounded charges. The family's cries for aid serve as a sobering reminder of the contradiction that exists between the need to prevent the spread of dangerous falsehoods and the profound pain and loss that have befallen them.
