The host of Adom Ahengua, Bishop Yaw Owusu-Ansah, has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of celebrated veteran disc jockey Samuel Tei Mensah Nartey, popularly known as DJ Awana.
DJ Awana, one of the longest-serving staff of the Multimedia Group Limited, died on Sunday, April 6, 2025, after a short illness.
He passed away at the 37 Military Hospital where he was receiving treatment.
Bishop Owusu-Ansah, who also serves as the Accra Regional Overseer of the Resurrection Power and Living Bread Ministries, described Awana as a dedicated and selfless professional who will be sorely missed.
“He was one of the finest guys I have worked with over the years—not just as a pastor, but across all programming. His careful selection of songs and the preparation he put into his work were exceptional. You have worked, you didn’t build houses, but you have paid your dues,” he said.
The man of God recounted that DJ Awana always participated in the communion services held on the show but was unable to join the most recent one due to his hospitalization.
Fighting back tears, he offered a heartfelt prayer for the late DJ.
“You can’t hear me, but wherever you are, may the good Lord keep you strong. I don’t know your heart, but God knew your heart. The Lord who knows our going and coming keep you. May your soul rest in peace,” he mourned.
Following the loss, Bishop Owusu-Ansah revealed that he has been praying earnestly for God to grant him life and strength to fulfill his own purpose.
