Akwaboah Loses Father
Veteran Ghanaian musician, Kwadwo Akwaboah, popularly known as Akwaboah Senior, has passed on.
The news was shared on social media by his son, Akwaboah Junior.
It is not yet known the cause of the death but it is reported that he died in a hospital on Tuesday, May 16.
The highlife legend lost his sight while he was based in Holland some years ago- a situation he attributed to spiritual forces during an interview two years ago.
He, however, was confident of regaining his sight back.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Akwaboah Junior shared a picture of his father and captioned it “RIP DADDY” with an emoji in tears.
