Mr Richard Kwabena Boakye has returned to Ghana after staying in Cote d’Ivoire for more than 30 years.
The father of the late highlife musician, Kofi Boakye Yiadom, found his way back to Asante Akyem Agogo a few days after his son (Kofi B) was buried.
The man, whom everyone assumed was dead because of his long absence from home, explained that a good Samaritan footed his travel expenses back to Ghana because he had no money on him.
He said life in Ivory Coast was extremely tough considering the fact that he used to work as a farmer which did not fetch him enough money.
“I left off for Abidjan in 1989 and started a farm. Though I’ve been through a lot of struggles and hardships, I’m still alive. They stole the little I had from me and now as I’m sitting here, I have nothing. No properties. I was sleeping on a bare floor at a bus station when a woman approached me and footed my transport fare back to Asante Akyem Agogo,” he added.

He narrated his story while also expressing his sadness about his son's death.
Sister of the late musician’s father expressed how she is still in shock resulting from the latest development.
According to her, she became startled upon setting eyes on her brother whom she thought was a ghost.
“It’s been long since we set our eyes on him. He left for Cote d’Ivoire for several years now and nothing was heard of him. When I finally saw him, I cried and cried because I thought I had seen a ghost. When he arrived, he mentioned the names of all his children, wives and asked after each and every one of them,” she stated.
