Former President J A Kufuor

Kufuor mourns Dumor; reveals he once gave him an appointment
President John Kufuor says he was “caught off
guard” following the shocking death of ace
Ghanaian broadcaster Komla Dumor.

According to him, he was transiting in London to
Africa when the sad news of the death of Komla
Dumor hit him.

The BBC Focus on Africa presenter died in his
London residence Saturday. Reports say he died
from heart attack.

Tributes have since been pouring from all quarters
of the globe. President Kufuor told the BBC the
news is “so shocking.”

“He was only 41 and looked so fit. It is
unbelievable that such a thing will happen to him
now."

Asked if he listened to him on Joy FM, President
Kufuor said “I knew him and at a point I asked
him to serve on a board for the youth,” he
revealed, an appointment which Komla is believed
to have turned down.

“He was a social person, always with a smile and
quite polite to the society. A bright broadcaster
with great promise but who has been cut off
midstream ,” President Kufuor stated.
