Mother of the late Bennet Agyekum-Adoma, owner of Kikibees Restaurant and Lounge, Cecilia Adomah, has shared details of the last activity she shared with her son before his untimely demise.
Bennet was found dead lying in a pool of blood in a house at Madina-Ogbojo on October 9.
He died after leaving Amsterdam for Ghana. During his stay in Amsterdam, he was with his mother, per her account.
Cecilia noted that before her son left for their home country, they hugged and prayed today. Following this, he assured to return to Amsterdam and was later picked up by his friend.
Cecilia made this known while she refuted claims that her son was a drug addict and had committed suicide.
“My son Ben that I know isn’t a drug addict. He isn’t a drug addict. Jesus Christ! Ben came to visit me and spent a week here in Amsterdam, before leaving for Ghana, he even hugged me, kissed me and we prayed together. He left here around 1 am. He said he would be back soon and he left. It was his friend who even came to pick him up.
“When I heard reports that my son committed suicide, I was intrigued. This information is false. Why would Ben even want to kill himself? He is a responsible man with a wife and kids. He is hardworking and successful. So, what is he looking for in life that he doesn’t have? I was shocked. My son is very sober, loves humans, and trusts easily; maybe that’s what landed us in this situation.
Cecilia shared details of how news of her son’s death got to her.
“I heard it when I was in church on Sunday, a lady called me on the phone to tell me about it. Exactly around that time, my daughter’s friends were around so they quickly snatched the phone from me.
“Other people came to tell me that Ben is injured so he is receiving treatment. At that moment, I was taken to home but I kept asking why about four people would tell me about a mere injury. So I asked them to tell me exactly what happened. So, the family came home and they told me that he was dead,” she added.
Mam Yandey Joof, the girlfriend of the late Bennet Agyekum-Adoma, the owner of Kikibees Restaurant and Lounge, has been remanded in police custody by a District Court in Madina.
Her plea has been deferred, with Justice Susana Nyakotey presiding over the case.
Muniru Kassim, the legal representative for the accused, Mam Yandey Joof, maintained that she played no role in the death of the Kikibees CEO and stated that the truth would emerge at the appropriate time.
Previously, a police report indicated that before his tragic demise, Ben had consumed certain substances, which led to him becoming highly agitated. This resulted in an altercation and property damage when he arrived at his girlfriend’s residence.
The reports further revealed that at one point, Ben’s girlfriend had to escape from the scene as he had threatened to harm her.
According to the police, Ben was discovered on the floor with marks on his arms and blood flowing from his nose, suggesting that he may have collapsed and fallen.
