Ex-SOMPA FM Staff Odifour Paul Kwabena Breaks Silence After Dismissal
Odifour Paul Kwabena, the former assistant to Ohenene Adazoa at SOMPA FM, has spoken out for the first time since his dismissal from the radio station. In an exclusive interview, he denied rumors that he was fired for having an affair with a married woman seeking guidance at the station.
Odifour explained that the controversy began when the woman in question cooked fufu for him, which he ate as a gesture of courtesy. However, she allegedly developed an interest in him and demanded GHS 1,000 when her feelings were not reciprocated. The matter escalated, leading to her reporting the issue to Ohenene Adazoa, who resolved it by instructing Odifour to pay her GHS 500.
Later, another incident involving a woman seeking marital advice added fuel to the controversy. Odifour recalled that the woman, who was introduced to him by a colleague, called him at night to discuss her marital troubles. She mentioned rejecting a GHS 30,000 compensation from her husband’s family, claiming it fell short by GHS 2,000.
In an attempt to counsel her, Odifour advised the woman to accept the money and stop visiting the station until her marital issues were resolved. However, the woman secretly recorded their conversation and forwarded it to the station’s management. This recording was reportedly a key factor in his dismissal.
Odifour acknowledged that his actions might have been misinterpreted, admitting to some level of misconduct but insisting he had no malicious intentions. He maintained that his advice was given in good faith and aimed at helping the woman navigate her situation.
The former SOMPA FM staff member also clarified that the rumors about him engaging in inappropriate relationships were false and hurtful. He expressed disappointment over how the situation was handled and the subsequent damage to his reputation.
This development has sparked discussions about the dynamics between radio hosts and callers seeking help, with some questioning the ethical boundaries in such interactions. Odifour concluded by expressing regret over the misunderstandings and the loss of his position but remained hopeful about moving forward.
The case has drawn mixed reactions from the public, with some sympathizing with Odifour’s version of events while others believe the station acted appropriately in dismissing him.
