Very sad news. I never knew he directed the Ghana CAN 2008, I loved the organization. I got the chance to watch I Sing of a Well and he was very good with his role. I also saw pictures of his family on face book and his children are so so young. My condolence to his dear family. I thank GOD for his life and his achievements. May his soul rest in peace.
