Renowned journalist, Kofi Adomah Nwanwani is receiving urgent medical treatment in Dubai to restore sight in one of his eyes.
This follows an accidental shooting incident at a funeral in Dormaa in the Bono Region last week.
Details exclusive to Myjoyonline.com revealed the accident occurred during the firing of musketry by some chiefs at the traditional event.
According to sources close to the Kofi TV CEO, Kofi Adomah was repositioning himself when gunpowder from one of the guns, which had just been fired, struck his face.
The incident caused severe injury to one of his eyes, leaving him unable to see.

Initial medical attention was provided in Ghana before his transfer to Dubai for specialised treatment.
"He's now in Dubai seeing to restoring the one eye that is blurry. But it looks like the other one cannot see again," the source added.
