There was drama in Asante Akyem Agogo when late musician Kofi B’s father returned home after years of his reported demise.

The late singer’s dad returned just after his son was buried on November 7, 2020.

Kofi B’s family were moved with shock to see the musician’s biological father who had been presumed dead for over two decades.

According to the family, in 1989, Kwabena Krah Boakye travelled to seek greener pastures in Côte d’Ivoire and never returned home until now.

He was reported dead after citizens of Côte d’Ivoire attacked Ghanaian nationals when Kotoko beat Asec Mimosas in 1993, some family members said in an interview with Kofi TV.

Mr Boakye, believed to be in his mid-seventies, said he was robbed of everything and had no money to pay for his transportation back home to Ghana.

According to him, he met a good samaritan who helped him relocate to Ghana and find his way back home.

Late Highlife musician Kofi Boakye popularly known as Kofi B was laid to rest on Saturday November 7.

Many sympathisers from across the country trooped in to pay their last respect to the ‘Akua Donkor’ hitmaker.

The burial service took place in his hometown in Asante Akyem Agogo.

During the funeral, Kofi B’s mother could not control her tears as she wept bitterly.
