According to him, it hurts to hear such a fine gentleman who engages everyone he meets will die.
“Emmanuel Agyarko is like a family member to us. His father was a good friend and I can say that he took his father’s positive behavior. I have been shattered ever since we heard the news. I can only ask God to forgive him for his sins and keep him in his bosom,” he said in an interview on Accra based Okay FM monitored by Adomonline.com.
