The untimely passing of ex-Ghana Premier League striker Hans Kwofie has surfaced new revelations about his final moments, including the pivotal role his father played.
Kwofie tragically lost his life on Friday, June 21, 2024, in a fatal road accident involving another friend of his.
According to reports, prior to the accident, Kwofie’s father had attempted to prevent his son from taking the ill-fated journey.
It was disclosed that his father had intervened by confiscating his car keys in an effort to dissuade him from driving. The vehicle involved in the crash, however, belonged to a different friend.
“Even the car he was using was not his. The car belonged to Samuel Nzemaba.
His father had seized his personal car two weeks ago because he did not want him to drive,” a sports presenter stated on Saturday, June 22, 2024, on Sompa Sports.
Additional details surrounding the tragic incident revealed that Hans Kwofie had plans to travel to Germany in early July to finalize a move to a new club.
His companion, who also lost his life in the accident, was scheduled to get married just a day before the fatal incident occurred.
“His friend, who was to get married today (Saturday), had come to visit him at home, and they were told of food being prepared; Hans’ wife told them she was preparing food, but he said no, the food will take time.
So they moved a car to go and eat at a bush chop-bar around Dadwin. They were going to eat and return, and that’s when they met the tragedy.
“They had finished eating and were turning around to return when the incident occurred,” the report by Sompa Sports added.
Hans Kwofie, renowned for his goal-scoring prowess, clinched the top scorer accolade in the Ghana Premier League during the 2017 season.
He also made three appearances for Ghana’s U-20 national team, the Black Satellites.
Throughout his career, Kwofie showcased his talents with several clubs in the Ghana Premier League, including Medeama, Ashgold, Legon Cities, Bechem United, Heart of Lions, and Aduana Stars.
Tragically, at the age of 35, he was playing for Birgunj United FC in Nepal at the time of his passing.
