Abroad-based husband of Kumasi lady whose alleged artiste boyfriend was lynched jump to wife’s defence

A twist has developed in the story of a Sowutuom-based musician who was lynched while visiting his alleged married girlfriend in Kumasi.

According to recent media reports, Nana Yaw, known by his stage name Wyllbee, was lynched at Abuakwa-Tanoso in the Ashanti Region while staying overnight at the residence of his girlfriend, identified as Nana Yaa, on Friday, July 5, 2024.

In a recorded live interaction on social media shared by EDHUB, which reported the news earlier, the abroad-based husband of Nana Yaa, identified as Kingsley, refuted the claim that his wife was in a sexual relationship with the deceased.

While maintaining his wife’s innocence, Kingsley insisted that Nana Yaw was an armed robber who had attempted to break into his family’s home to attack his wife, mother, and child.

“My mother told me she was sleeping with my son when she heard someone break down the first gate and make their way into the house. She asked who was there, and the person who was wielding a big stone started banging it against the door while shouting at them to open the door amidst threats to kill them.”

He stated that the persistent attempt by the deceased to break into the house led the family to shout for help, resulting in the deceased being apprehended and lynched by a mob while attempting to flee the scene.

Earlier reports had claimed that the deceased, while spending the night with Nana Yaa, allegedly woke up to urinate outside when he was spotted by some occupants of the compound house, who confronted him, suspecting him to be a thief.

Reportedly, the deceased explained that he had come to spend time with his girlfriend in the house, but the girl allegedly denied knowing him to protect her marriage.

This escalated the situation, as occupants of the house alerted neighbours that they had caught a thief, leading to the deceased being brutally beaten and later pronounced dead at a hospital.

However, Kingsley vehemently refuted this narrative, insisting that his wife did not know the deceased.

“That narrative cannot be true because I was in Ghana last year, and my wife always had a chamber pot in her room because she didn’t want to go out at night to urinate. I even teased her about keeping a chamber pot in the room,” he stated.

He added that his 12-year-old son, who was sleeping in the same room with his wife, had corroborated her story.
