What began as a hopeful journey toward a military career has turned into a deeply controversial case involving allegations of deception, pregnancy, and financial loss, sparking outrage on the Obra Show on Nhyira FM.
Elizabeth Kumah, who brought the case before the show, accused a man claiming to be a military officer of exploiting her daughter under the pretext of helping her secure enlistment.
According to her, the man collected GH₵3,000 to facilitate the process but failed to deliver on his promise.
“He told us it was for recruitment. We trusted him,” Elizabeth said. “All I want now is my money.”
She further revealed that her daughter later became romantically involved with the same man and got pregnant. “When we confronted him, he disappeared. We had no choice,” she added, confirming that the pregnancy was later terminated.
However, the accused man, who spoke to producers off-air, admitted knowing the young woman but rejected claims of wrongdoing.
“She was my girlfriend. I was only helping her because she was bright,” he said, insisting that he not only received money from the family but also added his own funds.
“They gave me GH₵3,000, and I added GH₵7,000 to support the process,” he claimed.
He explained that he initiated the enlistment process but later had to leave for a peacekeeping mission. “When I returned, she was pregnant for another man at the time she was supposed to go for training,” he alleged.
Elizabeth, however, strongly refuted this account. “My daughter only got close to him because of the opportunity he promised. He deceived her and got her pregnant,” she insisted.
The revelation that the pregnancy had been terminated triggered strong reactions from the panel and host Ohemaa Benewaa, who openly criticised the situation.
Evangelist Degraft Addae condemned the development, stating, “Two wrongs don’t make a right. Bringing life into the world under deception and ending it this way shows a breakdown of responsibility on both sides. Why was the pregnancy aborted?”
Lady Gold White questioned the decisions made, saying, “You cannot mix opportunity with emotions and expect clarity. This young lady’s future has been compromised because of trust placed in the wrong hands.”
Gifty Donkor, popularly known as Big Mama, was even more direct: “This is painful. A child was involved, money is gone, and now everyone is shifting blame. Accountability must start somewhere.”
Host Ohemaa Benewaa also expressed disappointment over the situation.
“This is not just about money or a relationship gone wrong; it is about a young girl’s future being derailed,” she said. “This is also about a mother whose decisions have had serious consequences.”
She added, “As for your GH₵3,000, we will ensure you get it back. But reflect on what has happened—there are moral consequences too. When opportunities come, we must be careful who we trust.”
In a significant development, the accused later agreed off-air to refund the GH₵3,000 to Elizabeth, a move seen by many as a step toward partial resolution.
The case has since sparked widespread public debate, highlighting the dangers of false promises, the vulnerability of job seekers, and the consequences of misplaced trust.
