The comic actor's mother is reported to have sadly passed away in the early morning on Thursday, June 12, 2025. The cause of her death is still unknown.

The news of Okomfo Kolegae's mother's passing was confirmed on social media by Kumasi-based blogger Poleeno Multimedia, who has close ties with the actor and many of his colleagues in the Kumawood movie industry.

Sad scenes at Okomfo Kolegae's house

Footage from Okomfo Kolegae's house seen by YEN.com.gh on Thursday, June 12, 2025, showed the Kumawood actor and his relatives grieving over the painful loss they had suffered.

In the video, Kolegae and his family welcomed some of his lesser-known colleagues from the Kumawood movie industry and a Kumasi-based radio personality who rushed to their home to commiserate with them.

The actor and his family members could not control their tears as they deeply mourned their loss in the presence of their visitors.

One of Okomfo Kolegae's colleagues recounted the phone call he received from the actor and the huge amount of money he had recently spent on the mother when she was admitted to the hospital as she battled a health problem.

The Kumawood actor's aunt also spoke to the visitors and recounted how she had come to know about her sister's untimely passing from her nephew.

For most of the meeting, Okomfo Kolegae remained silent as he continuously stared at his phone and raised his head high. He later interacted with his close friend as he escorted the visitors to the respective cars following their visit to his home.
