KABA looked up to me for advice and direction – Tommy Annan-Forson
Friends and family of the popular radio talk show host, as well as renowned politicians and captains of industry, have been thrown into a state of shock as they grieve the broadcasters passing.
Veteran broadcaster, Tommy Annan-Forson, says KABA’s passing is “a huge shock”.
“I’ve known him for a very long time. He was one person who looked up to me for advice, for direction. He was very respectful, very hardworking and so it came as a huge shock…” he recalled.
Citi FM’s morning show host Bernard Avle also described KABA really nice guy and asked for prayers to be said for his wife and daughter who he left behind.
He was noted for his many anti-corruption campaigns.
He tied the knot last year with Class FM’s Valentina Ofori Afriyie and they have a daughter together.
