Ghanaian actor Akwasi Boadi, popularly known as Akrobeto, has expressed his thoughts on the accident involving his colleague LilWin, which tragically resulted in the death of a 3-year-old boy named Tawiah Ampomah.
Akrobeto remarked that LilWin’s involvement in the accident and his subsequent actions have negatively impacted his public image and societal standing. He praised the Ghana Police Service’s decision to detain LilWin for questioning, emphasizing that the country’s laws apply equally to everyone, regardless of their prominence.
Speaking on UTV, Akrobeto advised fellow celebrities to conduct themselves in ways that set positive examples for their admirers. He stressed the impartiality of the law, stating, “Upon your release from remand, it’s important to make wise decisions because, in Ghana, no one is above the law. We, as public figures, must lead lives that inspire others and avoid such incidents.
“When you deviate from the right path, the law will intervene without exception. Pastor Owusu Bempah, for instance, was taken into custody and subsequently issued an apology. There have been others who have faced legal consequences for their actions,” he said in Twi.
Meanwhile, LilWin was detained by police on Monday, June 3, 2024, after being discharged from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. He has been granted bail of GH¢50,000, and the case has been adjourned to June 27, 2024.
Regarding the accident:
The tragic incident involving LilWin occurred on May 25, 2024, near Grace Baptist Church in Amakom, Kumasi. LilWin’s vehicle collided head-on with another, resulting in injuries to several passengers and the heartbreaking loss of a 3-year-old child.
All injured parties, including LilWin, were swiftly transported to the Accident and Emergency Unit of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. Despite his injuries, the actor attended the premiere of his new movie, “A Country Called Ghana,” at the KNUST CCB Auditorium later that day.
