Father of late dancehall artiste, Ebony, has replied critics who have accused him for sacrificing his superstar daughter for rituals.

According to Nana Opoku Kwarteng, the 2018 posthumously Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) Artiste of the Year was a special daughter and no parent who has a child like her will think of using her for rituals.

In an interview with Accra-based OnuaFM, Nana Opoku Kwarteng stated that he is a Christian and a member of Assemblies of God Church and cannot do such a thing.

“How can I be responsible for Ebony’s death? Am I God? Nobody will have a daughter like [Ebony] and will be responsible for her death,” he stated.

The father of the celebrated songstress also responded to his choice of coffin for her burial.

According to him, his decision to select a black coffin has no spiritual connotations.

Ebony died after she was involved in an accident on the Kumasi–Sunyani road on February 8, 2018 around 11pm when she was returning to Accra from Sunyani, where she’d gone to see her mother who had returned from abroad.

Her friend, Franky Kuri, and a Military Man, Atsu Vondee, who is said to be her bodyguard on board a Jeep from Sunyani also died in the head-on collision with a VIP bus heading towards Sunyani from Kumasi.
