Ebony: Ghanaians remember singer 5 years after death
On February 8, 2018, Ghanaians were hit with the news of late Rufftown Records signee Ebony’s death.
The sensational singer, born Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng, died in a fatal road accident on the Sunyani-Kumasi road.
She was travelling to Accra after visiting her mother in the Bono Region.
On her journey, a Jeep with the registration number AS 497-16 she was travelling in had a head-on collision with a VIP bus heading towards Sunyani from Kumasi.
Ebony passed away alongside two other persons, her friend only identified as Frankie and a military officer identified as Francis Atsu Vondee. However, the driver of the vehicle escaped death.
The ‘Kupe’ hitmaker was laid to rest on March 24, 2018, at the Osu Cemetery.
Five years on memories of the talented singer still are still fresh in the minds of fans. Celebrating Ebony on her death anniversary, some say they missed her while others pray for her.
Singer Wendy Shay, also signed on to Rufftown, took to her Instagram page to honour Ebony.
“Keep on resting in power she wrote.”
