Veteran Ghanaian actor Jojo Mills-Robertson, known to many for his iconic role in Efie Wura, was overwhelmed with grief on Saturday as he laid his son, Francis Mills-Robertson, to rest during a burial ceremony at the Dansoman Keep Fit Park.
Francis, 38, passed away on November 2, 2025, after a brief illness at the Dansoman Polyclinic, a loss that came as a shock to family and friends.
The service turned deeply emotional when the heartbroken actor stood beside his son’s casket, struggling to hold back his pain. With a trembling voice, he questioned the painful twist of fate that placed him in the position no parent ever wishes to face.
“What I know is that a son is supposed to bury his father, not the other way round. Why do I have to bury you? That’s not how it should have been. Only God knows why it has happened this way,” he said, standing close to his son’s casket with a friend.
