One of Ghana’s top local comedians Samuel Kwadwo
Buabeng aka Bob Okala has passed away, Starrfmonline.com can confirm.
Okala, a
veteran comedian who was a pioneer of the popular Key Soap Concert Party in the
90s, collapsed on stage while performing at a programme organised by Joy
Industries at Koforidua Jackson Park on Saturday.
The
spokesperson and Managing Editor of Dady Media Solomon Nuwodu confirmed the
news to Starrfmonline.com.
According to
him, ‘Bishop’ Okala, as he was affectionately called, has been part of the Joy
Industries’ programmes over the years, but he was never invited for this
Saturday’s event due to ill-health.
“Okala
pleaded to perform briefly but he realised he couldn’t continue and the
bouncers had to come on stage to hold him because he began to lose stamina,”
Nuwodu said.
He was
confirmed dead at the hospital Sunday dawn. He died at age 59.
