According to Ricky “Bullet” Nana Agyeman, contrary to popular belief, Ebony was a committed Christian who occasionally had prayer sessions with prophets and Christian leaders.

“Contrary to the reports widely circulated and the unfounded perception that Ebony was untrained and from a nonreligious background, Ebony was the exact opposite. Ebony was a Christian and indeed worshiped anytime she had the opportunity at the Golden Centre church in Madina.

“She was prayerful and had prayer sessions with a number of pastors, prophets and Christian leaders. Ebony was kind, respectful and a philanthropist. She occasionally went to orphanages to donate.”

Ebony died on February 8, 2018 along with two others in a car accident while returning from Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo region, where she had gone to visit her mother.

The funeral of the late artiste is ongoing at the forecourt of the State House in Accra.

The ceremony comes on the back of a concert which was held at the Trade Fair Centre on Friday night in honour of the starlet.

Hundreds of friends, colleagues and fans are at the State House to bid farewell to the deceased starlet.

More sympathizers are already trooping to the funeral grounds to mourn and pay their last respects to the “Sponsor” and “Hustle” hitmaker.

A directive from the Manhyia Palace ordered that all residents join in giving the city a face-lift in terms of sanitation.

As part of the directive, all shops are to be opened after 12 midday when cleaning is over.

On Friday primary and Junior High school pupils helped clean the surroundings of the Kumasi Airport, through the Airport roundabout to the Manhyia Palace.

Roads leading to the Central Business District have also been blocked for this purpose.

The Kumasi Metropolitan Waste Department’s direction, Mr. Gorkeh Mia said “150 waste collecting tricycles have been deployed to take waste off the street after the general cleanup.”

The burial rites of the late Asante Queen mother will begin on Monday, 16 to Thursday 19th of this year.

Earlier, the Manhyia Palace had ordered that people stay indoors from 7pm of Thursday evening to 4am of Friday morning. This generated fear amongst residents, however, Otumfuo’s Mawrehene, Baffour Hyeaman Brantuo IV has allayed fears.

He said as tradition demands, “the journey to the village should go on uninterrupted, that is why we are asking people to stay indoors. The tradition of having peoples’ heads for burial was abolished 200 years ago.”
