The agency has offered its condolences to the families of the victims and to the nation, expressing sympathy and solidarity during this difficult time.
A successful edition of the vigil was held at the Independence Square in Accra on Saturday, August 2, 2025, where hundreds of fans, fellow musicians, and dignitaries gathered to pay tribute to one of Ghana’s most influential musicians.
