Deputy National Communications Director for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Jennifer Queen Oforiwaa, has shared a harrowing incident that unfolded in the streets of Dansoman, recounting how an unknown man jumped onto her car during a fateful evening.
Detailing the event, she said, “It was around 6:30 pm, just two weeks ago. I felt a sudden jolt as someone jumped in front of my car. If I hadn’t acted swiftly, who knows what horrors might have unfolded?”
Expressing her fear as a politician, Jennifer remarked, “As a seasoned politician, I’m familiar with weathering storms, but nothing prepared me for the uncertainty of that moment. Had I panicked and pressed the accelerator, tragedy could have struck. They would even accuse me of manslaughter.”
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, she revealed that she later discovered the incident was an attempt to rob her. Thankfully, bystanders intervened, thwarting the robbery and ensuring her safety.
Jennifer shared her story in response to a tragic accident involving pupils from Ampeah Memorial School in Nkawkaw, where three male students and a female teacher lost their lives in a fatal motor accident on the Kumasi-Accra road.
The accident involved a Nissan Patrol vehicle, reported to be the official vehicle of the District Chief Executive for Atwima Kwanwoma in the Ashanti region, Prince Karikari.
The incident occurred when the vehicle attempted an unauthorized U-turn while driving on the road shoulders from the Accra-Kumasi direction near Nanchia.
Given her past experience with an accident in 2020, Jennifer urged drivers to exercise greater caution to prevent avoidable deaths on the roads.
