I asked him for befitting burial but… – John Kumah’s father cries out

“We are leaving everything in the hands of the Lord. I told him, ‘Kwaku, you have to bury me, not me burying you.’ If it’s someone who killed him or the Lord who killed him, we leave everything to God,” he noted in an interview with Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM.
