My husband didn’t die from food poisoning

Meanwhile, the widow of John Kumah, the late deputy Finance Minister has emphatically stated that her husband did not die from food poisoning, contrary to circulating reports in sections of mainstream media and social media.

Instead, she clarified that he courageously battled a severe illness for over a year.

Apostle Lilian Kumah said her late husband had been battling with a terminal disease for nearly a year now since it was discovered by his doctors in Germany and that is what her husband succumbed to on Thursday, 7 March 2024, and not food poisoning.
