Family of Maamobi Shooting Victim Tawfic Abdul Mumuni Appeals to President Mahama for Urgent Medical Aid

The family of Tawfic Abdul Mumuni, a young man left incapacitated following a violent political clash in Maamobi, has issued a desperate plea for presidential intervention to secure life-altering medical treatment. Injured during a campaign-related shooting in October 2024, Tawfic remains unable to walk and is in urgent need of an expensive surgical procedure to regain his mobility. His family is now calling directly on President John Dramani Mahama to provide the necessary resources, citing a total lack of support from state officials in the months following the traumatic event.

During a recent press briefing, Tawfic’s mother, Samira Mohammed, shared the harrowing reality of her son's condition and the overwhelming financial burden placed on their household. She described a state of deep despair, noting that despite the initial national outcry and various promises of assistance from officials at the time of the incident, the family has been largely abandoned. The cost of the required surgery is far beyond their reach, leaving the young man bedridden while the family criticizes the government's failure to follow through on commitments made to the victims of the Maamobi violence.

The situation highlights the lingering scars of political violence in Ghana and the often-overlooked aftermath for the families of those caught in the crossfire. The Mumuni family emphasized that true political reconciliation and national peace cannot be achieved through rhetoric alone; rather, it requires tangible justice and comprehensive care for victims. They argue that the state has a moral and social obligation to ensure that citizens who suffer during political activities are not forgotten once the news cycle moves on.

As the family awaits a formal response from the presidency, their plea serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of partisan instability. The case has reignited public discussions regarding the adequacy of support systems for victims of civil unrest and the accountability of political leaders toward their constituents. For Tawfic’s family, the intervention of the President represents their final hope for restoring his health and dignity, urging the administration to act swiftly to provide the medical aid necessary for his recovery.
