Tragedy doubly struck during the funeral of comedian Bob Okala in Accra Saturday, as a former concert party producer collapsed and died during the ceremony.
The producer, identified simply as ‘99’, reportedly collapsed during the funeral at the Arts Centre, leading to him rushed to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. He was pronounced dead on arrival.
Some reports indicate 99 has worked with Bob Okala in the past.
The late Bob Okala’s final funeral rites are being held in Accra today, and the unfortunate death today mirrors that of the former concert party ace.
Okala himself passed away in March this year, after he collapsed on stage whilst performing at an event in Koforidua. He was rushed to hospital but ultimately did not survive.
Okala, who  in recent years had scaled back on public appearances due to health issues, nonetheless agreed to perform at a programme organised by Joy Industries at Koforidua Jackson Park.
It was during that performance that he collapsed and died.
