“I wanted to confess to you, but I didn’t know whether I could trust you or not,” he would later tell the journalist. When the investigative journalist first asked him, he denied the allegation and dared his accusers to prove it. He was accused of sexually abusing women who visited his health facility, Nature’s Hand Therapeutic Centre, in Gbawe. The man who made that bold pronouncement was her husband, Jonathan Ohene Nkunim, the man who had taken a vow to be faithful to her. The trailer quoted the villain in the investigative piece as boldly proclaiming, “If it were to be true, I should be in jail by now.” For the right or wrong reason, someone had forwarded the trailer to her. The documentary was titled “The Unlicensed Sex Predator”. The previous day, she had seen the trailer of an investigative documentary that was yet to be aired. But their presence provided enough clues that her eight-year-old marriage might never be the same.Įven if she did not expect the unsolicited morning visit, she had, in the past 24 hours, anticipated disruption to her life and those of every member of her family. The guests, who had not given her a clue about their visit, said little. They had intruded her home and ruined the sanctity of her early morning privacy. It was 7:30 a.m., and Mrs Nkunim, who was nursing a three-month-old baby, was the subject of the prying eyes of half a dozen uninvited guests. It was a slow-moving act, filled with emotions. And she leaned forward for a hug without maintaining eye contact with the tall man who held her tenderly and looked at her with affection.

He moved towards her his arms outstretched. She hesitated, as if unsure whether to give in or pull away. When Jonathan Ohene Nkunim beckoned his wife for a parting hug, it was like a scene from a romantic movie. In the following comprehensive report, Manasseh Azure Awuni of The Fourth Estate recounts the emotional moments of Jonathan Ohene Nkunim’s arrest and his confession to Manasseh and the Police.
