Girlfriend Discharged by Court in Kikibee CEO’s Death Case

Mam Yandey Joof, who has been standing trial over the death of Benett Agyekum Adomah, popularly known as Kikibee, has been discharged by the Madina District Court.

Joof, a hotelier and girlfriend of the deceased who was also the owner of Kikibee Restaurant, was discharged by the court following advice from the Office of the Attorney General.

During the court proceedings, the prosecution informed the court that “the advice from the Attorney General is ready, and we have been asked to discharge the accused person.”

Upon hearing this, Joof, visibly emotional, expressed disbelief and wiped away her tears.

In accordance with the advice from the Attorney General dated February 8, 2024, the court presided over by Susana Nyarkotey announced that the accused is hereby discharged.

“They found no fault with you,” the Magistrate assured Joof.

Joof, who had been on GHC200,000 bail, wept uncontrollably as her relatives escorted her into a waiting vehicle.

Joof had been facing a charge of murder following the death of her boyfriend, Kikibee, the owner of Kikibee restaurant.

Reports indicated that Kikibee exhibited unusual behavior while in Joof’s apartment. She and a friend rushed him to the hospital, but Kikibee allegedly passed away shortly thereafter.
