In a shocking turn of events, the residence of iconic Ghanaian musician Kwadwo Antwi, also known as Kojo Antwi, succumbed to a devastating fire on the evening of Sunday, March 3, 2024. The luxurious apartment, located at Hong Kong near Kwashieman in the Ablekuma North Constituency of Greater Accra, was engulfed in flames, leaving fans and neighbors in disbelief.
The fire, the origin of which remains unknown, reportedly began in a corridor close to the kitchen within the building. Firefighters, captured in a video disseminated on Instagram by blogger Nkonkonsa, worked tirelessly to extinguish the flames that ravaged the celebrated musician’s home.
Among the losses incurred in the fire were the artist’s music studio and valuable properties worth thousands of Ghana cedis. The studio, a significant creative space for Kojo Antwi, housed newly purchased ultramodern equipment that added to the devastating impact of the incident.
Reports from Angel FM indicate that the occupants of the apartment, who managed to escape unharmed, swiftly drew the attention of neighbors. The quick response from neighbors and the arrival of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) prevented the fire from spreading to nearby houses.
The incident is a significant blow to Kojo Antwi, whose contributions to the Ghanaian music industry have earned him admiration and respect. The loss of the studio and equipment is not only a personal setback for the artist but also a loss to the broader music community.
Fans and well-wishers have expressed their sympathy for Kojo Antwi, and many hope that he finds the strength to recover from this unfortunate incident. The fire serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of life, even for revered figures like Kojo Antwi, and the importance of community support in times of crisis.
