The president of the Musicians Union of Ghana, Bice Osei Kuffour, popularly known as Obour collapsed on Sunday morning while training at the University of Ghana school field.
Reports suggest that the incident happened on around 7.30am. The fitness training was in preparation for Obour's yet to be launched fitness reality show.
He was said to have been in the company of his trainer and his fitness project manager who sent him to the Legon Hospital where he was later discharged.
A statement issued by the Union’s project Head of Communications and Special project, Ahuma ‘Bosco’ Ocansey noted that “Obour who was in the company of his trainer and his fitness project manager, was resuscitated and sent to the Legon Hospital where he was later discharged.”
“The incident happened around 7.30 this morning (Sunday) when Obuor was going through his new Sunday morning drill in preparation for his new Fitness reality show which will be launched on Friday at Rockstone’s office in collaboration with 4syte TV,” the statement added.
It also said Obour was over-working himself when the incident occurred.
“He has completed his set for the day but he still wanted to push himself to do two more 400 –metre rounds. Obour had also ensured a gruelling seven-hour trip to Techiman and back for the funeral of the father of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts Minister, Elizabeth Ofosu-Agyare,” it indicated.
Obour came under heavy criticism from a section of the public to lose weight after a photograph of him looking "pregnant" went viral on social media.
