Hundreds of sympathisers including government officials converged at the Kotokoa International Airport where the mortal remains of the late Komla Dumor arrived in Ghana, Monday.
The iconic broadcaster with the BBC suddenly died at his London residence on January 18, 2014 leaving his family and friends in Ghana as well as his admirers across the globe in a state of shock.
According to Myjoyonline.com’s David Andoh the body arrived aboard a British Airways flight few minutes after 8:00 pm.
The body is yet to be taken from the cargo as mourners solemnly look on. There is a display of tradition as performers drum and dance.
Rituals will be performed at the airport to receive the body after which the mortal remains will likely be taken to the Lashibi residence, Joy News’ reporter Stephen Anti reported.
A delegation of chiefs from Aflao led by Togbui Fiti Amenya is also present at the airport to witness the solemn return of their son whose career in journalism has inspired millions of youth across the globe.
Komla until his death was a Youth Development Chief in Aflao.
Fifi Kwetey, Minister of State at the Presidency in charge of Financial and Allied Institutions and the MP for Ketu South is also present at the airport.
