Sammy Gyamfi commiserated with the family of the former Head of National Security and Foreign Affairs Minister under the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) on behalf of the NDC.
“Captain Kojo Tsikata is no more with us. That is the sad news.

It is sad news for Ghana,” he said on the show monitored by GhanaWeb.
He added, “We are heartbroken and what we can say is that may the good Lord give him eternal peace and rest. Let me also use this opportunity, for on behalf of the party to express our condolences and commiserations with his immediate family who are in the state of mourning, pain and anguish because of this bad news."
Captain Kojo Tsikata died at the age of 85.
