Yaa Baby Funeral: Prophet Kofi Oduro Condemns the Fatal Incident Reports

• Four people are feared dead and several injured after a pick-up vehicle carrying Yaa Baby's mourners overturned in Kumasi
• This comes after chaotic scenes from Yaa Baby's funeral, capturing some of his young friends mourning her, surfaced on social media
• Prophet Kofi Oduro, during a sermon at church, condemned the rascally behaviour during Yaa Baby's funeral

The founder and leader of Alabaster International Ministries has weighed in on the disturbing reports from Yaa Baby's funeral on July 5, in Kumasi. The sad incident reportedly happened at the ITP junction when the group was on its way to the cemetery to pay its last respects to the deceased.

A video captured before the accident shows the group packed into a pickup vehicle and ready to set off. They were all in black or red attire.

Another video of the accident, which surfaced online, shows the pickup truck overturned, with some survivors rushing out while others, unable to move, were assisted by bystanders.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that four people lost their lives while several others were injured.

During a sermon after Yaa Baby's funeral, Prophet Kofi Oduro condemned the happenings in Kumasi, as sympathisers mourned.

Videos of young men and women dressed irresponsibly, drinking and smoking and revving their motorbikes at top speed have surfaced online.

The young lady died tragically. Instead of the people sitting down and reflecting on the death of the young lady. They come with their promiscuous lifestyle to the young lady's funeral. Then they displayed impunity and rebellion. Then, in the burial service of the young lady, there is another accident that claims lives. We don't think. This generation doesn't think. We're in the life of pleasure where we love pleasure more than the Lord.

The explosive preacher, known for his hot takes on national and societal issues after criticising the funeral scenes, cautioned his church members who may be leading similar lifestyles.

What happened to Yaa Baby?

Yaa Baby, GH Kobby's girlfriend, was accidentally shot on June 10, 2025. She passed away as a result of the incident.

Multiple reports indicated that Yaa Baby was shot in the left arm after Kobby retrieved a gun from his luxurious car to fire warning shots in the air.

The young man and two of his friends who were with him during the incident were arrested and kept in custody until recently, when one of the two friends, popularly known as Obolo, was released.

Yaa Baby's mother mourns daughter in white

It was a solemn moment at the funeral of Yaa Baby when her family, friends and loved ones gathered to pay their last respects to her. Her mother was inconsolable at the event despite efforts to ease the pain of losing her beloved daughter.

YEN.com.gh reported that Yaa Baby's mother was spotted wearing a white mourning cloth, which differed from the other mourners who wore either black or red.

It's unclear why Yaa Baby's mother wore white. In Ghana, mourners wear various African prints to convey their emotions at funerals.

Reports indicate that the white funeral cloth of Yaa Baby's mother is named Mahwehɛ papa bi abɔ; to wit, my beautiful mirror is broken," was preferred because of the deceased's young age.
