Ghanaian actor Agya Koo says he is alive and well, after a TikTok post falsely announced his death. In a message posted on Facebook on Sunday 8 November, he identifies the account @blackgod as the source of this false announcement, and his team is seeking to identify those responsible.
“This message is 100% false. I am alive, in good health and, by the grace of God, I am doing very well,” he writes. He condemns the practice of inventing death announcements of public figures to attract attention on social media, which he considers malicious and callous. He asks TikTok users to report the account to the platform.
Agya Koo thanks his fans who called or wrote to enquire after his health. He recalls that he had hesitated to believe the death of actor Seth Kwame Dzokoto, who died last month, before confirming it himself, because of false rumours of deaths targeting other actors.
