Kaitor Kposowa a Sierra Leonean working as TV Reporter in United States of America, working for WANE 15 News, a CSB Station in Indiana, USA has won one the Emmy Award (of the biggest in the USA television industry).
The award was presented by the National Academy of Television, Arts and Sciences on Saturday June 20, 2020.
The award ceremony was held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic. “The Lower Great Lakes Chapter, based in Cleveland, Ohio, awarded me an Emmy,” said Kaitor Kposowa for “my 2-part special report: Disturbing Discovery” in the category of Best Societal Concerns series.
Disturbing Recovery investigates Ulrich Klopfer, Indian’s most prolific abortion doctor who illegally kept 2,411 aborted fetal remains in his house and car. They were discovered after his death and to this day it remains unknown why he kept the remains.
Part one of the series recounts the horrific experiences of one of Klopfer’s former patients and uncovers details of Klopfer’s life and crime. In part two “we engage with the India’s Attorney General and the Indian lawmakers and India state department of health to find a way to make sure something like this which is disturbing never happens again.
Sierra Leoneans at home and abroad are proud of his achievements and hope that he would find time to come home to be celebrated as a role model children back home should emulate.
