An eyewitness only identified as Ken Yeboah has given a chilly account of how Ghanaian dancehall artiste, Ebony Reigns died in an on head collision with a VIP bus at Nyamebekyere near Mankranso in the Ahafo Ano South, a district in the Ashanti Region on Thursday.
Two others according to the report contained in an audio from Kumasi-based Ultimate FM indicates that a military officer and a young girl in her mid fifteens also died in the ghastly accident involving the black Jeep car of the musician and the VIP bus at about 11Pm on Thursday.
“No one in the bus was dead or injured but occupants of the Jeep vehicle were hurt. The passengers told us the accident involved another car and that a soldier and a small girl were trapped in the vehicle. We called fire service from Bechem and when they came they were incapacitated so they relied on their colleagues in Sunyani who managed to open the mangled vehicle before they could retrieve the bodies. I saw her she was the Ebony we know”

Such a young talented live cut short in such tragic circumstances.Again, this is another wake up call to how we conduct ourselves on the road. A few weeks ago another VIP bus was involved in yet another ghastly accident in which at least 8 people perished including a 2-year old boy. The sight of the lifeless body of that innocent kid lying on the road brought shivers to my spine and is forever ingrained on my memory . It cannot be mere coincidence with these VIP buses and these collisions which are taking aware the lives of breadwinners and innocent souls. This latest one involving Ebony Reigns is just one too many. An investigation should be carried out concerning their operations and if it means temporary suspending their operations then so be it. I know it is a tough call but we are simply loosing too many people to these carnage on our roads. Looking at the time(11PM) the accident happened there must be hard questions asked. Was it as a result of tiredness or drunkenness on the part of either driver? Did one of them doze off? Whatever the answers are we simply cannot allow this to go on or in no time we will all be wiped out whilst a few people make their millions. Enough of the spillage! Enough!
Ebony our dear sister may your soul rest in perfect peace and we will always remember u for the love,happyness and entertaiment gave us (r.i.p) sister
I'm amazed at this Sayer person. What locus do you have to pass judgement? Such hypocrisy. These are the people who obstruct others from coming to the open arms of Jesus Christ with their character. How dare you, how dare you. Mere mortal passing judgement on another? How dare you... You need repentance and cleansing. Such fake Christian ***barred word***. Go read your Bible well....foolishness at its peak.
I'm so sad may she rest in perfect peace,oh EBONY we will REMEMBER YOU.
@ sayer or whatever ***barred word*** she calls herself. has she told you in any of her songs to engage in prostitution? what rubbish! listen to her new song and how much sense it speaks to African mothers. if you were close to you would see how i would sound that dirty uggly face of yours
Ooooh Ebony may God will purnish your enemies...Rest in perfect peace my love good bye.
Rest in perfect peace
Rest in Peace dear @Sayer becareful of such a judgemental attitude of yours I pity you if u call yourself a Christian
I agree with sayer,Ghanaians are just ***barred word*** and hates the truth,how was she affecting people positively? Singing immoral songs is what you want? She was talented but she was on the other side...
