    Lydia Alhassan and Ophelia Hayford didn’t make noise after their husbands deaths – Capt Smart jabs Lilian Kumah

    Renowned media personality Captain Smart has taken a subtle jab at Apostle Lilian Kumah, the widow of deputy finance minister, John Kumah.

    The Onua TV presenter has advised her to take lessons from the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency, Lydia Seyram Alhassan and the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Mfantseman constituency, Ophelia Hayford.

    Lydia Seyram Alhassan and Ophelia Hayford’s political journey commenced under tragic circumstances following the untimely deaths of their husbands, Emmanuel Kyeremanteng Agyarko and Ekow Quansah Hayford, respectively.

    According to Captain Smart, widows Lydia Alhassan and Ophelia Hayford refrained from seeking public attention or exposing themselves to the public eye.

    “Can you see how widows Lydia Alhassan and Ophelia are mourning their husbands? Have you seen them in public making noise? Did you ever see them talk about the deaths of their husbands? They have kept themselves as descent, well-cultured, and trained women. Learn from them,” he added.

    The ongoing rift between Captain Smart and Apostle Lilian Kumah was initiated by Captain Smart’s allegations that John Kumah was deliberately poisoned due to his political ambitions, which he claimed posed a threat to certain party leaders.

    In response, the widow refuted the claims and lodged a complaint with the police, demanding evidence from Captain Smart to support his allegations.

    Reacting to the arrest complaint, Captain Smart emphasised that this challenging period is a time for the widow to isolate herself and mourn her husband, rather than engaging in lengthy discussions to attract attention.

    John Kumah passed away on Thursday, March 7, 2024.

    Per reports he collapsed in his office and was promptly transported to a hospital for medical attention.

    Subsequently, due to a deterioration in his condition, he was flown out of the country.

    Apostle Lilian Kumah, the widow of the late Member of Parliament for Ejisu constituency, John Ampontuah Kumah, has reportedly filed a police complaint against Captain Smart, the host of the Onua TV morning show.

    This action follows the untimely passing of the MP while en route from Kumasi to Accra for medical treatment in Germany for an undisclosed ailment.

    Shortly after his demise, videos from a recent episode of Captain Smart’s show resurfaced on social media.

    In these videos, the journalist alleged that the MP and several prominent members of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) had been victims of food poisoning.

    He specifically mentioned that the MP and NPP’s Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, had suffered from food poisoning a few weeks prior.

    According to reports from Asaaseradio.com, the late MP’s wife believes these claims by the journalist are baseless and are tarnishing the reputation of her husband and his family.

    Consequently, she has urged the police to request evidence and substantiation from Captain Smart regarding his assertions concerning her husband’s demise.
