Twum-Boafo Pulled Gun – Says Driver
The driver of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of
the Free Zones Board, Seth Obeng, has been
narrating the harrowing experience he had at the
hands of his boss, Kwadwo Twum-Boafo over the
weekend.

Seth Obeng narrated during various radio
interviews yesterday after news of his ordeal
broke out, “He [referring to his boss] entered
his room amidst insults but when he returned from
the room, he slapped me and I shouted
‘Jesus!’”

The driver claimed on Adom FM that after receiving
what he termed as a ‘resounding single slap’
from his boss, he (Seth) bled from his nostrils
and ear and was hearing some noise in his ears.

He alleged that after assaulting him, Kwadwo
Twum-Boafo, not satisfied, came out chasing him
with a pistol.

In the course of the interview, he broke down in
tears over what he said were the constant attacks
and abuses his boss meted out to him.

Twum-Boafo, who is a member of the NDC
communications team, refused to speak to DAILY
GUIDE when contacted yesterday, but was rather in
tantrums.

Seth, who has been driving the controversial NDC
guru for the past one-and-a-half years, had told
the police that the action of his boss was
triggered by an attempt to calm him (boss) down in
the course of an altercation with an old woman who
happens to be his own mother in-law.

He said it started when Twum-Boafo went to the
in-law’s house with intent to pick his child
only to be told that the child’s mother had come
to take him away. This, Seth claimed, infuriated
his boss a great deal.

“I pleaded with him to stop because I was
beginning to feel embarrassed about his conduct;
everybody who knows him knows that he does not
want to be spoken to…,” the driver recalled.

In the heat of the altercation, the driver said,
“The 80-year-old woman called him a ‘foolish
man’…” among other unprintable words which
seemed to have provoked Twum Boafo.

It was at this point that Seth said his boss
wanted to attack the woman, but he tried to
intervene by blocking his (boss’) hand.

Seth said unknown to him, his boss was still
nursing the anger over his (Seth’s) daring act
of intervening in the fracas with the old woman.
He narrated that Kwadwo Twum-Boafo descended on
him with a slap and other forms of assault.

According to Seth, not even the intervention of
the politician’s mother could save him from the
hands of his boss.

Since then, Seth said he had been hearing some
strange noise.

He later reported the incident to the Airport
Police who are investigating the matter.

The obviously distraught driver was subsequently
issued with a form to seek medical attention at
the LEKMA Hospital.
