Kennedy Agyapong donated GH¢10,000, Matthew Opoku Prempeh gave GH¢5,000, and Alan Kyerematen gave GH¢5000; they also made financial contributions towards the funeral arrangements.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service gave GH¢30,000 towards the funeral organisation.
The one-week observance was organised by the Creative Arts Agency in partnership with the Fosu family. It was filled with touching tributes and performances.
Charles Kwadwo Fosu was born on September 29, 1964. He died on July 26, 2025, at The Bank Hospital in Cantonments, Accra, after a short illness.
