Gertrude Emefa Donkor further explained that she was scheduled to return to Accra on Saturday at 8:10 p.m. on Africa World Airlines Flight AW 0125 but missed the flight.
According to her, she later returned to Accra on Sunday after being offered a seat on a private jet by Mr Kevin Okyere, who was also returning from the funeral.
“I wish to categorically refute the false rumour circulating that I chartered a private jet to or from Kumasi. At no point did I charter or rent any private jet," she wrote on Facebook on Sunday, May 31, 2026.
