Maame Tiwaa's death kept from Yaw Sarpong

According to the family, the decision was taken carefully and mainly because of concern about his condition.

One of the family members explained that although Maame Tiwaa’s death has been trending on social media, they have managed to keep the information away from Yaw Sarpong.

The family said they are worried that breaking the news to him suddenly could affect him badly.

“For now, we have not told him. Even though the news is all over social media, we have been able to hide it from him. Unless someone decides to go and tell him directly, he will not hear it for now,” the family member said.
