    Legendary Ghanaian actress Maame Dokono, whose real name is Grace Omaboe, has stated that she worries she might pass away similarly to the late actor Prince Yawson, also known as Waakye.

    In an exclusive interview with Joy Prime’s Roselyn Felli for the Prime Morning show, Maame Dokono revealed the reason behind the late actor’s passing, saying that Waakye’s death was caused by an error made by someone.

    The seasoned actress, well-known for her contributions to Ghana’s entertainment sector, underlined the importance of exercising prudence and caution when managing health-related issues.

    “Waakye’s death was all of a sudden. It was somebody’s mistake, and Waakye was dead because I spoke with him on the morning of that day, and he was dead in the evening,” she said.

    The renowned actress, who was devastated to learn of Waakye’s passing, fears she might end up just like the late actor. Though her mother passed away after a century, she still hopes to live to be as old as her.

    In her own words, “I was so devastated and didn’t know what to do. So, maybe my death will be like that. I’m almost 80. I’m hoping to be like my mother. She was 115 years old, and if I take good care of myself, I should be able to live like her.”
