Kennedy Osei Speaks After Sudden Death of Michael Ofori

In a week already thick with grief, Kennedy Osei has spoken out — and his words carry the weight of a brother’s heartbreak.

Michael Kwesi Ofori, affectionately known as The General, wasn’t just the godson of business mogul Dr Ernest Ofori Sarpong. He was family to the powerful Despite-Ofori circle — and to Kennedy, a friend so close he called him a brother.

A Shocking Goodbye No One Expected

News of Michael Ofori’s sudden passing broke on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, via a deeply emotional Instagram post by media personality Caleb Nii Boye.

“Aaw, Kwesi. Rest Well Bro. This pierced me so hard. 😭” Caleb wrote, echoing the disbelief shared by many.

Ofori was only in his 30s and had recently made headlines in 2023 for his lavish wedding to Rita Ofori Acheampong — a ceremony that saw Ghana’s elite, including Dr Osei Kwame Despite and Kennedy Osei, show up in grandeur.
