Read Naa Akweley’s narration in an interview with GhanaWeb below:
“Oko is my brother. I was in Accra trying to take a nap after smoking fish when his wife came running to me. She told me my brother Oko was not in a good state at the moment so we should go take a look at him.
Indeed when we came, my brother was the only one in his room. She called him to wake up several times. I got scared and asked what was wrong with my brother. We brought him out and took him to a church. The pastor prayed for him and he got better. So the pastor asked us to take him to Korle Bu but I told him I was taking him to another pastor in Teshie.
They prayed for him and he got better. Moments later my brother was lying shrinking. So I called the pastor and begged him to come check on my brother. We got a car and took him to Korle Bu were he was treated and everything was fine.
Oko was being placed on oxygen and he was doing ok so I tried to take a nap when one of our sisters woke me up asking if I couldn’t see that my brother was being covered with a cloth. I woke up and started hitting his chest to wake him up.
My brother did not wake up.
At that point I felt dizzy and did not see anything. My brother is dead. If it’s the will of God then Oko should bless me so I can take care of his children. But if it’s not, then whatever that would happen should happen,” Naa Akweley said.
