The editor-in-chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, has laid to rest his mother, Gloria Aba Addison.

President Nana Akufo-Addo and his Vice, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as well as some ministers of state, MPs, journalists and politicians among a lot of other dignitaries, were at the funeral on Thursday to mourn with the family.

Madam Aba Addison was the wife of Kofi Baako, a former Information Minister in Kwame Nkrumah's government.

Sweet Gloria as she was affectionately called was also the mother of former Joy FM reporter, Akosua Larbi.

A pre-burial service was held in her honour at the Community 7 Tema Joint Church. It was immediately followed by a private interment at the Gethsemane Memorial Gardens.
