GH Kobby, a Ghanaian social media star, has arrested for reportedly shooting his girlfriend, Philipa Yaa Baby, also known as Shuga.
On Tuesday, June 10, 2025, the socialite and his two pals, Michael Kabutey and Kojo Emmanuel, were reportedly arrested by the police following the regrettable event at Seker in Yeji, the capital of the Pru East District of the Bono East Region in Ghana.
After taking a gun out of his fancy car to shoot warning bullets into the air, GH Kobby reportedly unintentionally wounded his girlfriend in the left arm. He apparently hurried the woman to St. Martin’s Hospital, where she passed very soon after due to her wounds.
The terrible shooting incident occurred after Philipa, a social media personality, and the other two men had traveled to a local town in Yeji to attend the funeral rituals of the late Mamponghene Daasebre Osei Bonsu II.
According to an alleged Assemblyman who spoke to the media, the couple and the other two male acquaintances had gone to a residence where they were seen eating and drinking. According to reports, Kobby then went to get the gun from his car and started loading it with ammunition.
He said that as they were dining in peace, a bystander asked him why he had drawn a gun, and then he heard a loud gunshot, which later killed Philipa.
According to reports, authorities had started looking into the shooting event after removing an assault rifle from GH Kobby’s vehicle. The remains of the deceased Philipa have also been placed at the mortuary.
On social media, footage of the socialite and his companion being held at the police station has also surfaced.
