the passing<\/a><\/strong><\/span> of his 20-year-old daughter in a car accident at Mankranso in the Ashanti Region around 4:00 am this morning.<\/p>\n\u201cIf I should describe my girl, I\u2019ll say she was amazing, splendid, so unique. Ghana is going to find it tough to find someone like this pretty queen,\u201d he said to Citi News<\/strong>‘ Kwame Dadzie.<\/p>\nNana Poku recalled his support for Ebony’s music career despite the criticism that came her way for her salacious persona and fashion sense.<\/p>\n
“I have always supported this queen, that was her talent. She had nothing to lose. I supported her all the time. I have always supported my queen\u2026 she had it all. Honestly, she did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ebony, whose real name is Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng, was returning from Sunyani after visiting her mother\u00a0 who had returned from the UK, when the Jeep she was travelling in crashed into a VIP bus on Thursday evening, according to police.<\/p>\n
Ebony was travelling with three other people, two of whom have also been confirmed dead.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Jeep survived the crash, but most recent reports indicate that he is still unconscious and receiving\u00a0treatment.<\/p>\n
On his daughter’s trip to Sunyani, Nana Poku noted that \u201cshe [Ebony] said she was going to see her mom. Her mom had returned from the UK and she needed to her. I said okay and that was it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He is yet to speak to any of Ebony’s family in Sunyani, as he indicated that he was not in the right state of mind to even pick phone calls.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026My mood would not permit me to do so [pick up phone calls]. I have someone here who responds to any call I receive.\u201d<\/p>\n
