The father-in-law of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GOLDBOD, Sammy Gyamfi, has died today, Wednesday, 18 February 2026, after he allegedly sustained gunshot wounds on Friday, 13 February 2026.

It is believed that Sammy’s father-in-law was shot by armed robbers. All necessary medical efforts were made to save his life, but Mr. Karikari could not make it. The armed robbery incident is said to have occurred in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, where the victim lived.

The father of Irene Amankwaa Karikari, wife of Sammy Gyamfi, gave the hand in marriage to Sammy Gyamfi in December 2022. Very little is known publicly about the late father-in-law of Mr. Gyamfi.

Sammy Gyamfi, the then National Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), got married to Irene at a semi-private ceremony in Accra on 21 December 2022.

The ceremony was attended by close family relations and the very top leadership of the NDC, including the then former and now President of the Republic, John Dramani Mahama.

The marriage, scheduled for late November 2022, was postponed until after the NDC’s National Delegates Congress, where the groom was seeking re-election as National Communication Officer.
