Popular Kumawood actor Okomfo Kolege experienced what he calls the worst experience of his life on Saturday, November 17, 2022.
The actor, who had accompanied his wife that day to the hospital, was hoping to hear the happy news that their newborn boy had been delivered. But tragedy was in store for them from fate.
“I was alone at the car park, waiting for my wife. Those who were close to us or knew us understand how much I loved her. So, breaking the news to me became incredibly difficult,” he said on The Delay Show.

When asked how he was eventually informed about the death of his wife, Kolege shared that a doctor, who was a friend of theirs, was called in to break the news to him.
“When he arrived, he had already been informed over the phone. He drove there and looked at me, saying that God will do it. I responded, saying that I know He will do it, as he was finally there. He went inside, and later I saw everyone coming out. Then, he told me that my wife had given birth to a beautiful baby boy, which I knew she would, so I started giving thanks to God.
“I went to see my wife and child, but the doctor wanted to speak with me first before leaving to attend to other matters.” In his car, he conveyed the news to me, stating that sometimes a guy needs to swallow a harsh pill. When I questioned him what my wife’s pregnancy had to do with a bitter pill, he said that both my wife and kid couldn’t make it. “I couldn’t believe or accept it,” he recounted, “but he was emphatic, just like that.”
When asked if this news was the worst thing he had ever heard in his life, Kolege responded affirmatively, adding, “…and the most painful thing to ever happen in my life is losing my wife.”
