Prof. Awoonor’s death: A sad twist of fate – President Mahama

President John Mahama, on his way to New York, USA, has described as a sad twist of fate, Professor Kofi Awoonor’s presence at the Nairobi Mall where terrorists killed shoppers including Ghana’s former Chair of the Council of State.

A statement issued by the Ministry of Information on Sunday said, the president in a handwritten tribute, while transiting in London, enroute to New York, said: “I am shocked to hear the death of Prof Kofi Awoonor in the Nairobi Mall terrorist attack.”

“Such a sad twist of fate, to place Prof at the wrong place at the wrong time.”

“Professor Awoonor was a writer, politician and traditionalist with great wit, sense of humour and very well spoken. He will be sorely missed by family, friends, and the NDC of which he was a committed member”.
