Nana Yeboah Shares Shocking Account of How a Close Friend Attempted to Poison Him in His Own Home
Ghanaian actor Nana Yeboah has recently shared a chilling experience where he came dangerously close to losing his life, all due to the actions of a close friend. In a detailed interview with Emelia Brobbey, the popular Kumawood actor recounted the terrifying moment when one of his trusted friends attempted to poison him in his own home. According to Yeboah, the incident occurred after his friend, who was a frequent visitor to his house, secretly laced a drink with poison.
The actor explained that, on this particular occasion, he had offered his friend a selection of drinks, including Malt and Fru Telli juice. His friend went to a room where Yeboah kept a stash of drinks, and after selecting a few, he opened one and added some substance to it. Yeboah, who had no immediate reason to suspect any foul play, did not notice anything unusual when the drink was offered. He even went on to offer his friend more beverages, but the friend declined, saying he was fine, before leaving the house.
However, after his friend left, Yeboah, who also sells drinks, decided to give away the ones nearing their expiry date. He poured a glass from the drink that had been left behind by his friend and immediately noticed something was wrong. The juice became foamy, and the box appeared swollen, a clear sign that something had been tampered with. At that moment, Yeboah realized that his drink had been poisoned. He quickly discarded it, thankful that he had avoided consuming the dangerous substance. Reflecting on the narrow escape, Yeboah expressed that had he drunk the poisoned beverage, he might not have survived.
As soon as he made the disturbing discovery, Yeboah immediately called his friend to confront him about the poisoning. He knew that this friend was the only person who regularly visited him, as his partner and children reside in Obuasi. After some reflection, Yeboah deduced that the only person who could have poisoned him was this close friend, who had been the only one with access to his home. In an intense phone call, he bluntly asked the friend if he had been sent to harm him, telling him that whatever plans were set in motion had failed. To Yeboah’s surprise, the friend remained silent on the phone, unable to offer an explanation.
A week later, the friend called Yeboah to ask for forgiveness. However, Yeboah was clear about his feelings, stating that there was nothing to forgive, as the friend had not been honest when confronted. “He came back a week later, asking for forgiveness. I told him there was nothing to forgive because when I first confronted him, he didn’t tell me the truth,” Yeboah shared. Since that conversation, Yeboah said his friend had not reached out again, and the actor remains disturbed by the betrayal.
The traumatic experience has left a lasting impact on Nana Yeboah, who admitted that he now finds himself deeply shaken by the incident. “This whole thing has really frightened me. I’m now extremely scared of people,” he confessed, revealing that his trust in others has been severely affected by this betrayal.
For Yeboah, this life-threatening encounter serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that can lie hidden in close relationships. It also highlights the unpredictability of human behavior, as someone he trusted was capable of such treacherous actions. Reflecting on the incident, Yeboah expressed gratitude for what he believes was divine intervention. He firmly believes that if it hadn’t been for God’s guidance and protection, he might not have survived the ordeal.
This shocking story also serves as a cautionary tale about the need for caution and vigilance in relationships, even with those we consider to be close friends. While Nana Yeboah may never fully understand why his friend chose to poison him, his escape from harm is a reminder that life can sometimes take unexpected, dangerous turns, and that one should never take their safety for granted. The actor’s account underscores the importance of trusting one’s instincts, staying alert, and relying on divine protection in moments of peril.
