Watch as TV presenter cries for justice over daughter’s death

Nana Serwaa has appealed to the IGP to get justice for her daughter Nana Serwaa has appealed to the IGP to get justice for her daughter

A television personality with Atinka TV Ghana, Nana Afia Serwaa, has appealed to the Inspector General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, and the Director General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to ensure justice for her 11-year-old daughter, who died in a road accident.

According to her, in a video sighted by GhanaWeb, the incident occurred on May 4, 2025, but nearly a year on, the case has seen no progress despite being reported to the Ghana Police Service.

She said the case is being handled by the Abuakwa Divisional Police Command, yet the suspect remains free.

“My name is Nana Afia Serwaa, and I am making a humble appeal to the IGP and the CID boss. On May 4, 2025, my 11-year-old daughter was knocked down by a vehicle and died on the spot. The case was reported to the Abuakwa Divisional Police Command, but almost a year later, no justice has been served,” she said.

Serwaa, who appeared visibly distraught, expressed frustration over the delay in the case and what she describes as a lack of action by the police.

According to her, repeated visits to the police for updates have yielded no results.

She also mentioned that the investigator in charge of the case informed her that the suspect is allegedly still walking free.

“I have followed up on the case several times and went to the police to ask about the delay. I was informed by the CID that the person responsible is still walking free and is often seen driving around. I was also told that when the police attempt to stop him, he refuses and drives away,” she alleged.

The grieving mother said she is relying on the leadership of the police to intervene and ensure justice is served.

“I believe the IGP is a man of his word and stands for justice. I also believe Lydia Donkor, as a mother, will understand my pain. As a single mother, I have lost my only child in a car accident, and there has been no justice to date,” she stated.

She further indicated that she has met all requirements expected in pursuing the case, but has seen no improvement.

“I have paid the required fees and done everything expected of me, yet there has been no progress on the case,” she appealed.

The video of Serwaa making her appeal also captured moments of her late daughter, including scenes from her funeral service after her death.
