Dogbe-Gakpetor Family Announces Passing of Rosemary Selasi Dogbe; Nana Agradaa Reflects on Prison Life

The Dogbe-Gakpetor and allied families have formally announced the sudden passing of Mrs. Rosemary Selasi Dogbe, who died on Thursday, July 23, 2026, at the age of 45. Mrs. Dogbe, the daughter of the late Christian Kwabla Dogbe, passed away at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra. She was the widow of the late Haizel Asante, a former prominent staff member of Joy FM. The family has requested prayerful support from the public as they navigate this difficult period of loss.

Mrs. Dogbe is survived by her three siblings: Christiana Edem Dogbe, Felix Senanu Dogbe, and Christopher Kwaku Dogbe. While the shock of her sudden departure remains fresh, the family has indicated that formal funeral arrangements and burial rites will be communicated to the public at a later date. This news has touched the media community, given her late husband's significant contributions to Ghanaian broadcasting during his tenure at Joy FM.

In a separate development within the public sphere, Evangelist Patricia Asiedu Asiamah, popularly known as Nana Agradaa, has shared candid reflections on her experiences during her time in prison. Speaking on the social challenges of incarceration, Agradaa revealed that she formed a close bond with an inmate she described as her "prison bestie." Despite the initial camaraderie and the inmate's kindness in sharing food, the relationship eventually came to an end due to behavioral conflicts.

Nana Agradaa explained that she made the decision to "cut off" the friendship because her companion was frequently involved in fights and used abusive language. She noted that since she herself possesses a "feisty" and strong-willed personality, having a friend with a similar temperament became counterproductive to maintaining peace during her custody. Agradaa emphasized the need to distance herself from disruptive influences, even within the confines of a prison setting.

These recent reports highlight the diverse and personal challenges faced by notable figures and families within Ghana's media and religious landscapes. Whether mourning the loss of a loved one or navigating the social complexities of legal tribulations, these stories continue to draw significant public interest and reflection on the human experiences behind the headlines.
