The General Overseer and Senior Pastor of Resurrection Power New Generation Church, Rev Dr Anthony Kwadwo Boakye yesterday passed away at Korle Bu Hospital in Accra.

The church in a letter signed by the legal counsel, Alexander K. Abban Esq. has confirmed that the Man of God passed on at 2:00 am on Tuesday, February 21, 2023.

According to the church, Reverend Anthony Boakye was suddenly struck down by a stroke on October 23, 2021, and was initially rushed to a private medical centre at Dansoman in Accra for his doctor to cater for him.

However, he was later taken on admission at the Healthlink Medical Centre at East Legon for further treatment and after three months his condition improved and was discharged and directed to undergo physiotherapy.

It further revealed that the late Rev.Anthony Boakye applied himself to physiotherapy and saw significant improvement, following which he resumed his pastoral duties virtually at an undisclosed location until he physically appeared on New Year’s eve to lead the church service himself.

This notwithstanding, on January 31, the family was compelled to take him back to the hospital when he complained of sharp pain in his left leg, and at the hospitality was detected that blood circulation in his left leg was not the best and for that reason the was the need to fly him out of the country for further medical care and possible surgery.

The statement adds that preparations were underway, unfortunately, he was suddenly taken I’ll and rushed to the cardiothoracic centre of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital for treatment but passed on at 2:00 am on Tuesdays.

Further funeral announcements will be communicated to the general public in due course.
