Editor-In-Chief of the �Gye Nyame Concord" newspaper, Alfred Ogbamey has paid tribute to the late Komla Dumor; Africa�s media Idol. Alfred Ogbamey, speaking in an interview with Peacefmonline.com, expressed his deepest condolence to the family of the deceased, Komla Afeke Dumor, whose sad death occurred at his home in London last Saturday. He suffered a what is suspected to be a cardiac arrest and passed on to eternal glory, hence leaving the entire nation in a profound state of shock. Until the sad departure of the ace journalist and father of three, Komla was appointed face of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and was tasked to anchor the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Recounting the character of the late Komla Dumor, Alfred Ogbamey told Peacefmonline.com that he (Komla Dumor) lived a peerless life and exceptionally soared high in the media landscape. According to him, the late Komla Dumor made great exploits in the media fraternity and his star shone on the image of the country. "He was good at what he did and he did well...He was an exceptional guy; had exceptional quality." He further invoked divine guidance on the deceased's wife, children and family and backed calls for a State Burial to be held for the late Ghana-born BBC news anchor. "We've lost a gem and a life. Although, you have died young; you certainly have left a mark in the sight of time past...The Lord indeed is on your side. He knows best why he calls us at his own time. May you rest in his eternal bosom. "He may have died at the age of 41 but he certainly, in my view, has contributed to the development and history of this country."
