Citi FM was on the cusp of breaking through the urban radio space.<\/p>\n<p>He took the Morning Show console by storm. He nibbled steadily at the knobs his stiletto sharp mind (nurtured fundamentally at UG) landing the crushing blows. I think he broke Joy FM&#8217;s hegemony.<\/p>\n<p>Ghanaians have memories of countless interviews and watched from the wings as he married and made a home.

To share with you your pain. This should not happen to a good man.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To your Clan and Allied ones my deepest commiserations and that of my wife Sylvia and family.
