Reports show that the demise of Okyere has been making headlines due to the circumstances surrounding his death.
Alexander Osei-Owusu, a close family friend of Okyere, shared the heartbreaking news that his friend had tragically lost his life just one week into starting a part-time job in Saskatoon, Canada.
