Born Linsford Kwabena Asare but professionally known as Otwinoko is arguably the greatest radio personality ever to steer the console in the Ashanti Region in the early 2000s.
Otwinoko started his mainstream radio at Mercury 91.5FM (now New Mercury 91.5FM). He commandeered a ‘mysterious’ program dubbed ‘Nsem Pii’. His fame was catapulted to apogee when he exposed one Yaw Donkor who murdered a palm wine tapper and seller, Marfo at Nyinahini in 2004.
As his popularity increased, he got poached by then a newly established multimedia radio station Nhyira FM in Kumasi. After three years, Otwinoko moved to Fox FM where the unexpected or if you like the greatest calamity hit him – mysterious sickness which made him lose sight or go blind.
Although he’s back on radio and he’s currently at Kumasi FM but according to controversial evangelist Addai, Otwinoko’s blindness is fake! In the video sighted by GHBase.Com, the popular evangelist was heard saying that some antics and actions performed by Otwinoko contradicts that of a blind person.
“…. I can say this on authority that radio presenter Otwinoko is not blind. He’s faking his alleged blindness!! They say some prophets caused his blindness because he spoke against their woks in his hay days. This is never true becausesi there’s no prophet in Ghana. Otwinoko’s blindness is nothing but mind games when you monitor and critically analyse his actions and antics. A blind person can’t do that”, Evangelist Addai revealed.
It will interest you to know that Otwinoko is being defined by his exceptional voice and his ability to convey complex ideas that resonates with a wide audience. Otwinoko is the only radio personality whose voice and talent is still recognised by millions in Ashanti region especially Kumasi.
