Former President John Agyekum Kufuor says it is sad for a promising journalist to be taken away by death at his prime time.

The former president however expressed shock and sorrow at the sudden death of Multimedia presenter, Kojo Asare Baffuor Acheampong aka KABA, last Saturday after a short illness.

In a statement issued on Monday, Ex-President Kufuor described the late KABA as a “young promising talent whose life has been cut short at its prime.”

According to the statement, the host of Asempa FM’s flagship afternoon programme, ‘Ekosi Sen’ “brought balance to bear in his interviews and captured the attention of his audience with his incisive questions.”

Mr. John Kufuor in the statement noted that KABA was like family to him and recalled, that he introduced his wife to him before their wedding, which he attended.

“Nothing could have prepared us for such a sudden loss. I pray for strength and forbearance for his wife, child, family and close ones. Ghana has lost a great potential. Journalism has lost an even greater prospect,” Former President Kufuor said.

KABA was 37 years. He left behind his wife, Valentina Ofori Agyei, also a broadcaster with Accra-based Class FM and a 7-month old daughter, Nana Yaa.
