The Obra Show on Nhyira FM is set to travel with a troubled couple to the Northern Region in a final attempt to resolve a deeply rooted marital conflict that has resulted in child neglect, emotional trauma, and the breakdown of a family.
This decision follows a dramatic and emotional confrontation on the show, where Alamisi Musa accused her estranged husband of turning their four children into farmhands and withdrawing them from school.
The woman, visibly distressed, revealed that the children—some barely in their teens—are now forced to operate tricycles (Aboboyaa) and assist their father in the bush, carrying wood instead of books.
“They no longer go to school,” she told host Obaa Adwoa. “Anytime he goes into the bush, he takes them along to work like labourers.”
Beyond the physical hardship, Alamisi’s pain deepened as she recounted how her husband allegedly brainwashed the children against her, labelling her a witch.
“He told them I’m a witch,” she sobbed. “Now they believe I’ve cursed them. They don’t come near me anymore. I’ve lost my children, not just physically, but emotionally.”
Confronted on the same platform, the husband admitted to involving the children in his labour but turned the accusations back on Alamisi. He accused her of infidelity and exhibiting what he called “signs of witchcraft.”
He insisted he would not accept her back unless he confirms from a spiritual consultation in his hometown that she had not cheated on him. “Until I go and find out spiritually, I won’t return to her,” he stated.
But in a surprising twist, when asked by Obaa Adwoa whether he still loved his wife, his response was a soft yet clear, “Yes.”
Alamisi, however, expressed her frustration, claiming that her husband had already moved on with another woman. “It’s been three years, and he hasn’t touched me,” she said. “I told him I don’t need a man to survive. But if he claims he’s done with me, he should send me back to my family and compensate me. Don’t destroy me with lies.”
Moved by the emotional weight of the matter, the Obra team, under the leadership of Obaa Adwoa, resolved to take a hands-on approach. They plan to travel with the couple to the North, where family elders and traditional authorities can mediate and bring finality to the conflict—with the welfare of the children as the top priority.
This latest case highlights Obra’s enduring impact as not just a talk show, but a lifeline for families in crisis. As the team prepares for this journey, listeners and viewers alike are hopeful that the truth will prevail, and that the four children—trapped in a war they didn’t start—can finally have a chance at a better life.
