She was 94 years.

“My lovely mum; Mrs Gertrude Anani Amewu also known as “Don’t Worry” sadly passed away a few days ago. She was the kindest person in the world and made me who I am today.

“We’re taking some time as a family to grieve her loss and we ask for your prayers in this difficult moment. May the good Lord rest her gentle soul and bless her lineage. Thank you,” he wrote.
