The late Dr Grace Boadu, CEO of Gift Herbal Hospital, once had a meltdown at the Kotoka International Airport, and this is according to the lawyer for the fiancé of the late doctor, Maurice Ampaw.
In an interview on Kasapa FM, Mr Ampaw noted that the late Boadu was misusing pethidine and injected herself while heading to the airport.
He noted that she mostly used the drug when she was in intense pain. After taking the drug, she felt better but later abruptly became hysterical.
“There was this instance they got to the airport in Accra and Grace was in severe pain. She usually suffers this pain and there is this injection she usually administers to herself to kill it. But it is mostly prescribed. So that medicine was not available and the pain intensified.
“She started rolling on the floor and Kingsley had to order for the medicine from Kumasi with chartered flight to Accra. She injected the drug herself and for a moment she got relieved. Then suddenly she started acting mad. So, they had to forcefully grab her, took her to the hospital to stabilize the pain. So, the family latter arranged for her fiancé to be arrested because they held him accountable for whatever had happened to grace. That is where I took over the case from,” he said.
According to lawyer Ampaw, this incident got his client, Pastor Kingsley Gyamfi, arrested after the family blamed him for their daughter’s sorry state.
Maurice Ampaw indicated that Pastor Kingsley Gyamfi, was among the many suitors the family of Dr Boadu disapproved of due to her affluence.
Dr Boadu died on January 29, 2024, after it was alleged she slipped in her bathroom and hit her head on the ground. She died at her residence at Tantra Hills in Accra.
