According to the reverend, God should forgive his late father —who obviously— is the cause of all the woes he went through with his mum.
He revealed his late dad was a womaniser. and at a point beat up his mum which eventually broke her spinal cord.
“My father was owing my mother and we didn’t have any food or money so she decided to go for her money to feed us. By then, my dad was with one of her concubines and when she got there, he connived with some people to beat her up which broke her spinal cord.”Obofour stated.
He continued to say how his father who was a wealthy man neglected them and spent almost all his money on women.
Narrating their ordeal, he said they moved from Offinso and came to stay with his grandmother at Agric, a suburb in Kumasi.
According to him, life became even worse at his grandmother’s place. They moved to a single room which had been given to his mother by the grandfather.
Obofour continued with the sad story of the struggles until it got to a point he couldn’t contain it anymore as tears dripped down his eyes.
