In a statement signed and issued on Thursday, December 17, 2020 and addressed to the funeral committee, relatives, children and widow, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings.
“The man loved water and rivers. He once told me that he did not care if he could be buried on Tefle Island, but I dissuaded him by saying that, because if the dam spillway opens, the water table could change and affect his remains, “said Togbe Dugbaza. .
He added that while Rawlings was not strict with his words at the time, the family could work with that information.
“In this regard, why not consider letting him rest on his property in Tefle, which is located on the bank of the Volta River,” the statement said.
