In a heartbreaking turn of events, the popular afternoon show “Oyerepa Afutuo,” hosted by Auntie Naa on Oyerepa FM, shared devastating news on July 11, 2024. A young man, Akwasi Frimpong, who had previously appeared on the show accusing his wife of infidelity, has tragically passed away.
A few months ago, Akwasi Frimpong came on “Oyerepa Afutuo” to publicly accuse his wife of cheating on him with multiple men. In a highly charged and emotional segment, Frimpong claimed that he was not the biological father of their four children. His wife, while admitting to a single act of infidelity, confessed that one of the four children was indeed not Frimpong’s biological child. However, she firmly maintained that the remaining three children were his.
Despite her admissions, Akwasi Frimpong remained unconvinced and insisted that none of the children were his. This public accusation deeply humiliated his wife, leading her to invoke curses (duabo) as a desperate act of self-defense and retribution. The invocation of curses is a serious and deeply respected practice in many Ghanaian communities, often believed to bring dire consequences to the accused if they are guilty of wrongdoing.
As time passed, the curses began to take a toll on Akwasi Frimpong’s health. When it became apparent that he was suffering from the effects of the curses, his family intervened, desperately seeking to have the curses revoked. Despite their earnest pleas, the deity overseeing the curses declared that it was too late to reverse the effects.
Today, Oyerepa FM and listeners mourn the loss of Akwasi Frimpong, whose life was cut short by this tragic chain of events. His passing highlights the profound and often irreversible impact of traditional practices and the deep-seated cultural beliefs that continue to influence daily life in Ghana, especially in the Asante enclave.
