Former Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, is blaming two government appointees over the death of his father.
He said that Callistus Mahama (Secretary to the President) and Beatrice Annan (Presidential Staffer), among other factors, were responsible for the demise of his father.
Mr. Nkansah alleged that the duo, following his recent arrest and subsequent detention, refused to give him the time needed to see his father who was on admission at the hospital
According to him, the period was “the most critical time” adding, he could have helped the situation by taking timely decisions to save the father.
“Callistus Mahama and Beatrice Annan will forever have blood on their hands, regarding the death of my Dad, for their refusal to give me the time I needed to see my Dad at the most critical time when I could have made some decisions to save him, especially over such a useless Political matter.
“I won’t blame any NIB officer because they only worked on their instructions,” he wrote in a Facebook post.
Against this backdrop, he suggested the two government appointees will continue to be guilty of the untimely loss of his father and indicated leaving them to posterity.
“I leave you two to your conscience,” parts of the post shared on Facebook on Monday, March 2, 2026, read.
It could be recalled that in an emotional social media post on February 15, 2026, Mr. Ofosu Nkansah appeared to reference recent events surrounding his arrest, suggesting that he had sought permission to spend some time with his ailing father in Kumasi but that yielded no results leading to his death.
“Those with power now who refused my request to spend more time in Kumasi to observe my seriously sick old boy too I thank you. I guess you are happy now,” he wrote.
Mr. Ofosu Nkansah was recently arrested and granted bail of GH¢500,000 over allegations of publishing false news, following comments he made on the radio regarding alleged irregularities in the award of government-funded scholarships.
