death of veteran actor,
Nii Odoi Mensah, was
announced.
According to Starfm Online, the former
President of the
Ghana Actors Guild reportedly underwent a
kidney transplant in China on Monday, April 11, but he suddenly passed away.
The transplant was said to have been made
possible through popular actress, Juliet Ibrahim, through her
foundation. Sadly,
the veteran could not come back to show
appreciation to those who supported him.
Speaking to KMJ
on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, Ghanaian film
producer, Socrate Safo said Nii Odoi was living on dialysis in Ghana but went to China upon
hearing of a hospital which could treat him.

“I spoke to Nii almost every day except yesterday because I had lots of meetings…
Before he went to China, he told me he had heard of a hospital
there which could treat him and they needed
about $10,000.
We all did our part by
contributing but when he got there, he realised he would need
more than the
said amount because he needed more
treatment. I remember he called to request
for about $26,000. We
solicited for support and all that,” he said.
“Three days ago, we had a conversation and
I told him I will update him on certain things I
had to do for him.
I couldn’t call. I woke up today, checked ASOG
board platform and Abeiku Sagoe had posted there that he had passed on. I
called Nii, he didn’t answer so I sent him a
message hoping he responds. And I pray he
responds,” Socrate Safo added.
May his soul rest in peace.
