We are deeply saddened by the tragic death of 3-year-old boy…but- Wezzy Empire
Ghanaian actor, Kwadwo Nkansah’s Wezzy Empire management has extended it’s condolences to the bereaved family of 3-year-old boy who passed on in an accident involving him.
According to them, they are deeply saddened by the tragic death.
However, they have described allegations of neglect on their part as distasteful.
In a press statement, they expressed their gratitude to the public for the overwhelming support following last Saturday’s accident involving their Chief Executive Officer, Kwadwo Nkansah known in showbiz as Lil Win.
“We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the management and
medical staff of Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (Emergency Unit) who are attending to everyone who was involved in the collision,” the statement noted.
This notwithstanding they added that, “we are deeply saddened by the tragic death of a 3-year-old boy
who was involved in the gruesome accident and we extend our sincere
condolences to the bereaved family.”
According to them, in as much as they are saddened and traumatised, “we find unwarranted allegations of neglect on our part as speculated by some commentators’ very distasteful and disturbing at this troubling time.”
Again, “We want to state categorically that we were unclear about the extent of damage from the accident because our artist, manager and bouncer suffered life-threatening injuries.”
“We remain resolute that investigations by the Police would establish the
facts of matter in due course.
Raymoney, our artiste manager, is still undergoing treatment in the hospital, as is Kwadwo Nkansah, who has yet to fully recover from the tragedy but our bouncer has been processed for surgical review,” the
statement said.
