The Bono Region’s media fraternity has been plunged into mourning following the burial of popular Berekum-based radio presenter Justice Bernard Danquah, popularly known as ‘99K’.
Scores of media practitioners joined family members, friends and sympathisers at Jamdede, his hometown, to pay their last respects to the broadcaster, whose sudden death was described as a major loss to the region’s media landscape.
The mortal remains of ‘99K’ were laid in state at Jamdede for public viewing before he was later interred at the Amomaso public cemetery.
‘99K’, a former General Manager of Adikanfo FM at Jinijini in the Berekum West District, died in a motor traffic crash on Friday, July 25, 2026.
Until his death, he was the host of Adikanfo FM’s political talk show, where he was known for his engagement with political and public-interest issues.
His death has left a significant void among colleagues who remembered him as a respected radio presenter and a familiar voice in the region’s broadcasting industry.
‘99K’ had a career spanning several radio stations in the Bono Region. He began his media journey at Kiss FM in Drobo before moving to Chris FM in Berekum and later Akonoba FM in Sunyani.
Media practitioners who attended his funeral described his passing as a painful loss to the profession, noting his contribution to broadcasting and his standing among colleagues in the region.
They said his sudden departure had deprived the media fraternity of an experienced broadcaster whose voice had become part of the region’s radio landscape.
The late presenter is survived by his widow and three children.
