His career also extended into politics, making him a public figure whose work spanned entertainment, media and public service.
News of his death triggered tributes from colleagues and admirers, many of whom remembered him for his contribution to Ghanaian entertainment and broadcasting.
The one-week observation will provide an opportunity for family members, friends, colleagues and sympathisers to gather in Tarkwa to mourn his passing and pay tribute to his life and work.
