Tension is brewing within the family of the late Flight Sergeant Samuel Aboagye, one of the victims of the August 6 military helicopter crash, as his widow reportedly refuses to allow a DNA test on their child.

According to close sources, the DNA test was requested by investigators as part of the official probe into the crash victims and their dependents. However, the woman allegedly blocked the process, insisting it was unnecessary.
What has sparked public curiosity is a circulating claim that she was allegedly involved in an affair with an unnamed Member of Parliament from the Ashanti Region — a relationship said to have begun before her husband’s tragic passing.
The Aboagye family has since taken legal action, accusing the widow of obstructing justice and tampering with the investigation. On her part, she has reportedly filed a counter-motion, seeking a court injunction to prevent any DNA testing from being carried out.
The controversy has drawn wide attention on social media, with many calling for transparency and others demanding privacy for the grieving family as investigations continue.

According to eyewitness reports, the incident occurred shortly after Barau FC equalized in the 69th minute. The home fans, enraged by the goal, stormed the pitch in large numbers, attacking players and match officials. In the chaos, Nana Kwame Abraham sustained a deep neck wound after one of the fans allegedly slit his throat with a sharp object.
Security personnel and medical staff rushed onto the pitch to control the situation and provide emergency treatment to the injured Ghanaian player. The match was immediately suspended as Barau FC players and staff were escorted to safety.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage across Africa’s football community, with players, clubs, and fans condemning the act of violence. Ghana’s football circles have particularly expressed concern over the safety of Ghanaian players plying their trade in other African leagues, urging the Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) to act swiftly and decisively.
Barau FC, in an official statement on X (formerly Twitter), confirmed the attack and called on the NPFL and Nigerian authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice. “This barbaric act has no place in football. Our player, Nana Kwame Abraham, is receiving medical care, and we ask for prayers for his speedy recovery,” the club wrote.
As of press time, Katsina United and the NPFL had yet to issue an official response to the incident. Reports indicate that league officials have launched an investigation, with possible sanctions looming for Katsina United, including stadium bans and points deductions if found culpable.
This horrifying attack has once again highlighted the urgent need for tighter security measures and stronger enforcement of fan discipline within African football stadiums. For now, the football world prays for Nana Kwame Abraham’s recovery and demands justice for the inexcusable violence that has shocked the continent.
