Ruby Akakpo, the mother of late former Black Stars forward, Raphael Dwamena\u00a0says she is devastated over his death. <\/p>\n

The distraught mother said her late son, whom she affectionately called Nana Kwame has left a void which may be difficult to fill.<\/p>\n

Madam Akakpo who could not control her tears disclosed this on Accra-based Onua FM as she shared last memories of her son.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to her, Raphael was always excited to share his career wins with the family and therefore called home often.<\/p>\n

She noted that, the last time she spoke with the footballer was on Thursday and finds it hard to believe he passed on two days later.<\/p>\n

\u201cA day before a match, we didn\u2019t talk but immediately the game is over, he made a video call from the dressing room to tell me what happened then I will pray and bless him. He is the first of my three children and my strength so I have really lost a treasure,\u201d she mourned.<\/p>\n

Asked how she heard about the incident, Madam Akakpo said she heard rumours and asked her second child, Yvonne to check on social media and her fear was confirmed.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old Raphael Dwamena was diagnosed with a heart condition and as a result had a defibrillator inserted before making a \u2018personal decision\u2019 to remove it in 2022.<\/p>\n

He passed away on Saturday\u00a0after a cardiac failure during an Albanian league game while playing for\u00a0KF Egnatia against\u00a0Partizani in the 24th minute.<\/p>\n
