Gertrude Amainampong’s sister blasts falsehoods
Following the viral claims about her cause of death, Vera Ofori, an alleged sister of the deceased, has denied the rumours.

Gertrude Amaniampong’s alleged sister said the claim that she was depressed due to losing a land case was untrue.
“What they are saying out there is not true. Some are claiming she was having legal issues due to a piece of land she had purchased. She sold lands in Accra, so how could she be the one buying land? They should keep spreading falsehoods, that's how people are these days." Ofori fumed.
