Ghana’s political and business circles are reeling from reports of a deadly accident involving the convoy of prominent businessman and former MP Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, with his medical condition remaining unclear amid unconfirmed rumors of fatalities. The incident, which occurred earlier this week on the notoriously hazardous Accra-Winneba highway, has left family, associates, and the public in a state of anxiety as details trickle in.
Eyewitness accounts and social media posts suggest the crash involved multiple vehicles in Agyapong’s entourage, potentially leading to loss of life among drivers or security personnel. Sources close to the matter indicate the convoy was en route to a private engagement when a collision—possibly due to speeding or poor road conditions—unfolded around 1:30 AM. “It’s a very deadly accident; we’re praying for Hon. Agyapong and the team,” one insider shared anonymously, highlighting the severity that has prompted an ongoing police investigation by the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD).
Agyapong, 65, the outspoken Assin Central ex-MP, 2024 NPP presidential aspirant, and CEO of Kenpong Group, has long been a polarizing figure known for his media empire, philanthropy, and candid political commentary. His close ties to the late highlife legend Daddy Lumba, who passed earlier this year, add emotional weight to the news, especially following Agyapong’s recent public mourning. This isn’t his first brush with road perils; in May 2025, his convoy witnessed a fatal hit-and-run in Assin Manso, where he personally led a citizen’s arrest of the fleeing driver.
Social media erupted with concern, trending under #PrayForAgyapong, as netizens shared well-wishes and speculated on his status. “From helicopter crashes to this—August has been cursed. Hon., pull through!” one X user posted. Authorities have yet to release an official update, urging restraint from misinformation. The Ghana Police Service confirmed the probe but withheld details to respect privacy. As Agyapong’s family maintains silence, the nation awaits confirmation on his condition, underscoring persistent road safety issues in Ghana, where over 2,000 fatalities occur annually.
