A shocking case has stirred controversy on Obra Show on Nhyira FM after a grieving man claimed he discovered his partner dead and unclothed inside another man’s kiosk, only to later face rejection from her family over funeral rites and custody of their children.
The story has left listeners asking questions: Why is the family focusing their anger on the grieving man instead of the alleged lover linked to the woman’s mysterious death? And should he be allowed to attend the funeral of the woman he says he lived with and raised children with?
Speaking on the show, the complainant recounted the painful events leading to the discovery. According to him, his wife left home one evening and never returned. After several unsuccessful attempts to reach her, he began searching for her, only to make a disturbing discovery the following day.
“I found my wife dead and naked inside another man’s kiosk,” he said. “I still cannot understand what happened to her.”
The incident has since thrown the community into confusion and grief, with many demanding answers surrounding the circumstances of the woman’s death.
However, the controversy deepened after producers of Obra Show contacted the deceased woman’s family. In a response, the family distanced themselves from the complainant, insisting they did not recognize him as the woman’s husband because he had not officially married her under customary rites.
“We don’t know him as our in-law,” the family head reportedly stated. “He did not officially marry our daughter.”
The family further explained that while issues concerning the alleged lover or suspected circumstances surrounding the death would be handled internally, their immediate concern was the complainant’s role in the funeral arrangements.
According to them, the man would be required to perform certain traditional rites before being allowed to attend the funeral. They also demanded that he hand over the children to the deceased woman’s family.
“The children belong to the family now,” the family head insisted. “We will take custody of them, and he will not be given access.”
The development sparked intense reactions among listeners and panel members, many of whom questioned why the grieving man appeared to be the focus of the family’s anger instead of attention being directed toward the circumstances of the woman’s death. Others also debated whether tradition should override the bond shared between the man, the deceased, and their children.
Host Ohemaa Benewaa described the case as deeply troubling and emotionally complex. “A woman has lost her life under painful and mysterious circumstances, yet the focus has suddenly shifted to funeral rights and rituals,” she observed. “At this moment, the priority should be truth, justice, and the welfare of the children left behind.”
The case continues to generate heated public discussion, exposing tensions between culture, grief and family authority in moments of tragedy.
Meanwhile, many listeners say the unresolved questions surrounding the woman’s death still linger heavily over the entire matter.
