We Were Attacked By Robbers Before Sing-A-Thon – Afua Asantewaa.
Afua Asantewaa Owusu Aduonum revealed that she and her husband were the victims of two robberies just a few days before she began her effort to break the Guinness World Record (GWR) in a sing-a-thon.
She revealed this in an interview with GhOne TV, recalling the level of distress she had as a result of the episodes, which may have put at risk her efforts to break the record.
“Monday, before the actual attempt, we were attacked by robbers in our house, but they couldn’t get in. Then on Wednesday, when we got home, they had broken into our home, but we don’t know how they got in,” Afua Asantewaa recalled.

While the first robbery attempt failed, what makes the second incident interesting is the fact that the bandit(s) gained access to Afua Asantewaa and her husband’s home in their absence, but didn’t make away with anything valuable.
“They just scattered all our stuff; they didn’t take money or anything valuable; all they took was my husband’s deodorant and spray. There were laptops and money, but they didn’t take them. They just came to mess the place up,” she added.
She went on to describe how the two break-ins terrified her and her husband, forcing them to seek refuge at a motel even after the sing-a-thon.
She discussed how the inexplicable robbery episodes and other circumstances could have led to her failure in her endeavor to break the Guinness World Record, but she stayed determined.
“Anybody who saw me on Thursday would have said that I was stressed out already, but they didn’t know what was happening to me. Because on Wednesday night, we couldn’t sleep in our bedroom; we spent it in the living room. We were scared because our doors and windows were intact, and we don’t know how the person got into our room.”
Despite the distractions, she managed to sing for 126 hours and 52 minutes, which is currently being verified by the Guinness World Records. Sunil Waghmare, an Indian, currently holds the record after singing for 105 hours in March 2012.
