The son of the popular Waakye Seller Arafat confirmed the news in an interview on Asaase Radio.

“Mummy fell ill, expressing pain, leading us to seek medical attention at the SSNIT Hospital. However, complications arose, prompting her to request discharge,” recounted Arafat.

“Two days post-discharge, her health did not improve. Hence, we urgently transported her to the University of Ghana Medical Centre, where she succumbed at 3am this morning,” Arafat said.
