The Management and Family of Mac Tontoh, founding member of the legendary Osibisa Band fame, extends its gratitude to the public for their heartfelt concern and interest in the matter involving the demolition of the property of the late musician at Osibisa Close, Dzorwulu in Accra.
We wish to confirm that Mac Tontoh’s property at Dzorwulu, which has been the subject of a decades-long marital dispute, was demolished by as-yet unknown personalities.
The Management and Family of Mac Tontoh are calling for a thorough investigation of this incident considering the high status of Mac Tontoh and Osibisa as cherished national institutions.
Mac Tontoh was a much-loved member of Osibisa who played a vital role in putting Ghana and Ghanaian music on the international map.
He was a member of the Ghana National Commission on Culture at a certain time and played a significant role in the creative development of Ghana, not only as a musician but also as a mentor to many young musicians, recording studio owner, television pundit and cultural advisor.
We urge the relevant state institutions to immediately take the necessary steps to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter to preserve the legacy of the late great Mac Tontoh.
To all Mac Tontoh and Osibisa fans worldwide, thank you for your love and concern.
………………………
Duke Jojo Tontoh
