Photos: Celebs, Bigwigs Paid Their Last Respects To Ebony

They came in their numbers to mourn a fallen star; a talented musician, who within a space of a year, shook the foundations of the Ghanaian music industry.

Within her short stint, this fallen star, Ebony, released more hit songs than many did in their entire careers.

Her impressive list of hit songs includes ‘Sponsor’, which also happens to be President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s favourite song for 2017.

Ebony, born Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng, was killed in a gory accident on the Sunyani-Kumasi highway. She was returning to Accra after visiting her mother on February 8.

Her childhood friend and assistant, Franky Kuri, and their bodyguard also died in the crash.

She was laid to rest at the Osu Cemetery in Accra on Saturday after a befitting funeral service at the forecourt of the State House in Accra.

Among the numbers that came to pay their last respects were family, friends, celebrities, political bigwigs and business leaders.
