Double Trouble For Ebony’s Soldier Bodyguard

The Ghana Military Command has said it has begun investigations into the circumstances that led to the death of one of its officers in the tragic Thursday evening car crash that also killed singer Ebony Reigns.

The deceased officer, Lance Corporal Vondee Francis Atsu, was stationed at the Accra Airforce Base in Burma Camp and was not officially deployed for bodyguard duties.

Earlier reports suggested that he was acting as the bodyguard for the 20-year-old singer.

Soldier unknown to Ebony’s managers

Ebony’s management team have since denied any knowledge of identities of the driver and soldier travelling with the singer at the time of their fatal car crash at Mankraso in the Ashanti Region.

Abeiku Santana, a member of the management team, said he only knew Ebony’s friend, Francisca Nkansah Kuri, who was the fourth person in the car and also died.

Asked whether the three other individuals involved in the accident were known by the management team on Eyewitness News, Abeiku Santana said: “I do not know any driver, the car doesn’t belong to her… but I know the other lady who is a friend and a member of the team as well. I do not even know the military officer as well.”

Ebony, whose real name is Priscilla Opoku-Kwarteng, was returning from Sunyani after visiting her mother who had returned from the UK, when the Jeep she was travelling in crashed into railings on the road edge of the road.

Ebony was travelling with three other people, of which only the driver survived.
