Oman FM’s Wofa KK reportedly dies shortly after radio appearance

Late Ghanaian broadcaster, Kwabena Kwakye

Popular Ghanaian radio broadcaster Kwabena Kwakye, known on-air as "Wofa KK" and "Obotantim", has passed away.

Until his demise, he was a staff of Accra-based Oman FM, a subsidiary of Kencity Media.

Mr. Kwakye died suddenly on Wednesday, February 14, shortly after appearing on Oman FM's morning political talk show "National Agenda".

The cause of his death has not yet been disclosed.
Wofa KK served as the main anchor for "Boiling Point", Oman FM's popular weekly political program.

He was also a regular panelist on "National Agenda" and would occasionally fill in as the main host.

In 2017, President Nana Akufo-Addo appointed Kwakye to the board of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation.

He had a long career in media, including stints as a parliamentary and presidential correspondent.

Colleagues and listeners are mourning the loss of the respected broadcaster.
