The Ghanaian entertainment industry is in mourning following the sudden death of veteran actor, comedian, and media personality Seth Kwame Dzokoto. He was 51.
Reports say Dzokoto collapsed on Thursday, October 22, 2026, while hosting a radio show at Owass Radio in the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipality.
He was rushed to a hospital in Tarkwa but was pronounced dead on arrival.
His passing comes just weeks after images of the entertainer looking unwell circulated on social media, sparking concern among his fan base.
Dzokoto was a household name across Ghana, best known for his unforgettable portrayal of “Judge Koboo” in the popular local television series Efiewura.
His performance in the series cemented his status as a recognisable figure in Ghanaian homes.
Beyond acting, Dzokoto was celebrated for his versatility. He was the beloved host of TV3’s food and tourism program, Edziban, which introduced audiences to Ghanaian cuisine and local food culture.
His career also spanned radio broadcasting, with stints at Skyy Power FM in Takoradi and Hello FM in Kumasi, as well as extensive work in comedy and voice-over advertising.
Outside of entertainment, Dzokoto was an active member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He contested the Tarkwa-Nsuaem parliamentary seat in the 2016 general election. While he did not secure the seat, his foray into politics reflected his deep interest in public affairs and national development.
Tributes are pouring in from colleagues and fans, mourning the loss of a multi-talented entertainer who left an indelible mark on Ghanaian media.
