I miss my daughter badly, I still feel she was murdered – Ebony’s Father
Mr. Nana Opoku Kwarteng, father of late dancehall cum afrobeats prodigy, Ebony still feels his daughter was murdered five years on after her untimely demise.
According to him, from the varied narrations, he still feels his daughter did not die naturally as it is made to believe.
“I miss her so badly, I don’t think she died naturally and feel terrible justice has not been done,I pray for her soul continuously to rest in peace,” he added.
This notwithstanding, he told TheSpectatoronline that together with his family, they will fight for justice for their daughter.
Mr.Kwarteng noted that this has not made him a happy person, because he feels, his daughter has not been treated fairly.
He told this portal that the outcome of the court proceedings which exonerated the driver is not convincing to the family.
The family went to the graveside at Osu cemetery where shewas buried to lay some wreaths on her tomb.
Today, Wednesday, February 8, 2023, is exactly five years celebrated female musician Ebony Reigns met his untimely demise in a ghastly accident when a Jeep with the registration number AS 497-16 she was travelling in had a head-on collision with a VIP bus heading towards Sunyani from Kumasi.

Ebony died alongside a friend, Franky Kuri, and a military officer Atsu Vondee, who were all in a jeep with her while she was returning to Accra from Sunyani.
