He Nearly Strangled Me To Death; Matilda Amissah Arthur Recounts Robbery Ordeal
In a shocking and chilling account, Matilda Amissah-Arthur, wife of the late former Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur, has shared her terrifying experience of robbery and how she was nearly strangled to death in her bedroom in the early hours of Tuesday, December 5, 2023.
According to her testimony, Mrs. Amissah-Arthur was awakened by the lights in her room and found herself face-to-face with a masked man holding a gun. The intruder, dressed in black with only his eyes visible, ordered her not to move or he would shoot.
“I thought I was dreaming. So I sat on my bed and rubbed my face just to be sure that I wasn’t dreaming. And there he was,” she recounted.
The former Second Lady complied, handing over a significant amount of money and jewelry, but the robber remained unsatisfied.

“He got angry. He turned my room upside down, and of course, he didn’t find money or any jewelry. And then he said, ‘You wasted my time, so I will kill you. But I have to call my boss.’ By this time, he had dragged me from the bed and was hitting my head on the ground,” she narrated.
As the situation intensified, Mrs. Amissah-Arthur was dragged from the bed and the robber strangled her to the point of near-unconsciousness, even going so far as to fetch water for her to drink before resuming the assault. “I got thirsty at some point and I said, ‘I am thirsty.’
He actually stopped strangling me, went to my fridge for water, opened it, and put it in my mouth, just when I started drinking he snapped it, closed it, and continued strangling me,” she said.
Throughout the ordeal, Mrs. Amissah-Arthur prayed ardently, asking for God’s mercy not only for herself but also for her attacker. “When you are in the valley of the shadow of death, and an armed robber is holding a gun to your head and strangling you and you are choking, there is nothing you can do. But I realised the one thing I can do is call my God. Not just to help me, but to help him,” she recounted.
Mrs. Amissah-Arthur eventually passed out and experienced a profound vision. She found herself walking through beautiful streets and gardens, more stunning than any she had ever seen.
In this serene place, she filled a basket with flowers until she felt a hand on her wrist and heard a voice saying, “It is time to go.”
Miraculously, Mrs. Amissah-Arthur survived the attack and is now recovering from her ordeal. The police have already arrested one Yahuza Osumanu for his connection to the incident and several other robberies around Airport, Cantonments, Tesano, and Ridge in Accra.
Osumanu has been denied bail and is currently in custody.
