Dr. Kofi Abban, CEO of Rigworld Group, has called out legendary musician Kojo Antwi for soliciting funds to help fund his late father’s funeral.
This comes after GoFundMe account was set up in the name of Kojo Antwi’s father, Opanin Kwadwo Asiama Asubonten, who died on January 2, 2023, at the age of 104 at the Police Hospital in Accra.
In reacting to Kojo Antwi’s post, Dr. Kofi Abban expressed his displeasure with the GoFundMe link shared on Twitter and told the highlife musician to sell some of his properties to help fund the funeral.
“Kojo Antwi is a complete joke!!! You want £1,000,000 to bury your late dad, Have you ever done a free concert for your loyal fans in Ghana ??? Sell three of your properties in Accra to fund your dads funeral,” Amoa-Abban tweeted in response to the GoFundMe link.
