Yaa Baby's death and police intervention
Yaa Baby, known in private life as Philipa Frimpong, passed away on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, while on a trip to the Yeji area in the Pru East of Bono Region.
GH Kobby, known as Hayford Boateng, allegedly returned to their vehicle to retrieve a firearm. Witnesses reported that the weapon was loaded in full view of others present. Before anyone could intervene, a gunshot rang out, fatally wounding Yaa Baby.
The lady was reportedly rushed to St. Mathias Hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries shortly after arriving.
The group had travelled to the community in Yeji after attending the late Mamponghene Daasebre Osei Bonsu II's funeral rites before the shooting incident.
Following the incident, GH Kobby, Obolo, and another gentleman travelling with them were arrested. The three were arraigned before the court and were remanded for two weeks.
The other suspect, Michael Kabutey, and Obolo were released on June 24, 2025.
GHKobby's Obolo absent at Yaa Baby's funeral
Almost two weeks after his release, Yaa Baby was buried. The funeral, held at Mount Hermon School Park at Apatrapa near Kumasi, saw many thronging the venue to mourn the deceased, but Obolo was reportedly absent.
His absence could be understood in light of the fear for his life. He had indicated that after he was released on bail that he wished to attend his friend's funeral but was afraid that he might be attacked at the ceremony.
The video of Obolo after his release from prison is below:
Obolo dances as Yaa Baby gets buried
While some social media users empathised with him, the new video of Obolo having fun at a club has got many wondering.
In the video, the young man was seen dressed in black from his head downwards. He danced among some young ladies who shouted, 'Justice for Obolo', a social media slogan which emerged from people who thought he was innocent of the crime and wanted him freed.
His dance moves to an amapiano song got the club-goers excited and brought up a lot of shouting in the arena.
