Calls for Lilwin’s Arrest Intensify After Fatal Accident Involving Actor

In the wake of the tragic death of a three-year-old boy, Emmanuel Richard Ampomah, following a head-on collision involving actor Kojo Nkansah, popularly known as Lilwin, there have been growing calls for the actor to be arrested and investigated.

The latest to join the calls is Accident Victim Support Ghana, an organization advocating for the rights of accident victims. The group is demanding accountability and justice for the young boy who lost his life in the accident.

Speaking on Joy FM midday news, Rev. Cyril Crabbe, President of Accident Victim Support Ghana, stated, “He [Lilwin] should have been arrested by now. He should have been questioned by now. I said proper police because he should have been detained. He should not have been released. This is an accident, a head-on collision; again, he should have been detained."

Rev. Crabbe expressed concern over Lilwin being allowed to walk freely shortly after the accident, despite his injuries. “He should not have been allowed to be walking around because he himself was hurt, so his health matters. What if he came out and died? Mind you, he is the culprit, and we are going to get him to narrate the incident. We are going to use him to investigate the accident, and here is the case: he was out there the night the case happened. The next day, he went to church, which means that this guy is fit; he should have been taken to the police so that he would be questioned," he emphasized.

The actor has faced criticism for his public statements following the incident, which some have perceived as lacking empathy for the deceased boy. "The next step is to visit the deceased family. There, they would have been consoled. There would have been some empathy, but you can see till date, and he is out there still talking. This is a minor, precious one as such," Rev. Crabbe added.

Rev. Crabbe also highlighted the issue of increasing recklessness among celebrities or public figures on the roads and the failure of the police to enforce road traffic laws equally. “We are seeing too much on their side, and the police must not see their popularity as they are above the law on our roads. They must be put to order. If they are driving recklessly.

"We see, Okada [Commercial motorbikes] whenever a celebrity is coming, we see recklessness in the area of Okada and the noise and all that, which are not road safety required, and so we must check on these celebrities. So they themselves would know they are not above the law; they are also road users, and they must consider other road users as well to save lives,” he further noted.

The relatives of Emmanuel Richard Ampomah have expressed outrage over the actor's and his management's response. Kofi Aboagye, the senior brother of the deceased's father, stated that the family is offended by the dismissive and insensitive treatment they have received so far. “We are yet to write a police statement on it. We have not concluded on the criminality of it, meanwhile Lilwin and his management have shown utter indifference towards us.
