Ghanaians Left In Shòck As Journalist Abatey Reveals What His Wife Did When He Was Battling Stroke

According to a report by The BBC Ghana today being Friday, November 6, 2026, Veteran sports broadcaster Kofi Asare Brako, widely recognised as Abatey, has spoken about the painful challenges he endured during his five-year battle with stroke, revealing that his wife left him while he was struggling with the condition.

The experienced sports presenter made the revelation during an interview with Dek360 blogger, where he opened up about the difficult period and some of the personal experiences that accompanied his health challenges.

According to Abatey, his battle with stroke lasted for five years, during which he had to deal with the difficulties associated with the condition. However, beyond the physical and emotional demands of his recovery, he also experienced disappointment in his marriage.

He disclosed that his wife, whom he had been married to for several years, abandoned him during his period of illness. The revelation suggests that the health crisis placed considerable pressure on his personal life, leaving him to cope with the condition alongside the challenges arising from his marital situation.

His disclosure has attracted attention, particularly because it highlights the importance of support and companionship when someone is dealing with a serious medical condition. People recovering from illnesses such as stroke often face demanding rehabilitation processes and may depend on family members and loved ones for encouragement and assistance.

For Abatey, the experience appears to have been especially difficult because of the circumstances surrounding his marriage. Nevertheless, he expressed appreciation to God for keeping him alive despite everything he went through during those five years.

The veteran broadcaster’s gratitude has also become a notable part of his account, as he reflected on surviving a health condition that significantly affected his life.

His willingness to speak about the experience has given the public a glimpse into the personal struggles he faced away from his career in sports broadcasting.

The revelation has also generated conversations about the emotional impact of serious illnesses and the role family support plays during difficult periods. While Abatey has shared his side of the experience, his story continues to draw attention from fans and members of the public.
