Michael Osei, who is currently based in the USA wept uncontrollably on Angel TV after the news broke out that his closest pal has joined his maker.

“Godfred is like a brother to me and I was shocked when I heard about his demise. It’s something that cannot be taken lightly. I have been getting in touch with him always. I heard about his demise while at work, his death has really affected me. Not long ago, some of us who played with him contributed some money for our brother but God knows best. I pray he has an eternal rest.”

Charles Taylor then revealed his scheduled meeting with Godfred Yeboah on Friday, August 6, 2021.
