It was a solemn moment when family, friends and sympathisers gathered for the one-week observation of late veteran Ghanaian disc jockey and Multimedia Group staff member, Samuel Tei Mensah Nartey, popularly known as DJ Awana.

The ceremony took place at the Aggrey Road School park near old Adom FM in Tema Community 2.

Gospel legends Mary Ghansah and Celestine Donkor delivered soul-lifting performances that touched the hearts of all present.

Celestine Donkor and her husband Kofi Donkor donated GH₵500 to the family and further pledged to support DJ Awanna’s children through to their university education — a gesture that moved many.

 

Colleagues from the Multimedia Group also donated GH₵4,000 and 20 packs of bottled water to the bereaved family.
