Citi FM’s Western Regional Correspondent; Obrempong Yaw Ampofo, has been discharged from the Kwesimintsim Polyclinic in Takoradi, days after the Western Regional press corps suffered an accident.

Speaking to citifmonline.com after he was discharged on Friday, Obrempong said “I am feeling well and the pains I experienced some days back are all gone. I can twist my neck left to right but a bit painful from the back when I stretch my neck. Generally, the bodily pains especially my chest area are no more. I have been given a week to report for a routine checkup. I am well now” he noted.

Obrempong expressed appreciation to management of Citi FM and others for their support during the period.

“I am grateful to Citi FM, the regional GJA president Moses Akrobeto, members of the western regional press corps, the Western Regional Minister and his deputy, the Western Regional Communications Director of the NDC, Famous Tumi Acquah, the medical team at the Kwesimintsim Polyclinic and Mr. Charles Fordjour who before the accident reduced the speed of his car to lessen the impact of the crash despite the minimal distance between his car and ours. I appreciate all well wishers too and may God bless them”.

Obrempong Yaw Ampofo has been advised by the doctors to keep wearing the neck brace as part of the process towards full recovery.
