The 2024 presidential candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) took a break from his Thank You tour in the Ashanti Region to check on the injured student’s health condition as he received treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
Accompanied by some important NPP executives, Dr Bawumia expressed his sympathies and extended his best wishes to the injured student.
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia also donated GH¢50,000 to support the student’s medical expenses as he continued his recovery from the injury he sustained due to the unfortunate incident. The donation was received by the student’s grandmother, who expressed heartfelt gratitude to Dr Bawumia and the NPP delegation for their visit and financial support.
The former vice president thanked the Almighty Allah for sparing the life of the student and wished him a full and speedy recovery.
Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s visit came after the student, a member of the Unity Hall "jama group" at KNUST, who had been performing jama songs at an event during the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Thank You Tour in Bantama on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, was stabbed by some unidentified individuals.

The unfortunate incident occurred at the Bantama Pentecost Church, where the event was held. He was reportedly stabbed during a money dispute between his group and another unidentified group after the event.
The incident at the event led to the former Member of Parliament for the Assin Central constituency, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, withdrawing from the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Thank You Tour.
