Veteran Actor, Joe Eyison Is Dead

Veteran actor and musician, Joe Eyison, is dead. Mr. Eyison, popularly known as ‘Station Master’ for his role in GTV’s ‘Obra’ series, died last Saturday, a few hours the burial of another veteran actor, S.K. Oppong. The cause of his death is yet to be confirmed. But the President of the Musicians Union of Ghana, Sidiku Buari suspects some foul play.

He told JOY FM that a day before his death Mr. Eyison reported that he had been threatened by a group of people who claimed to own the Ghanaian music industry.

The alleged threat followed an interview with TV3 on Friday, in which Mr. Eyison declared support for Alhaji Sidiku Buari, who is under pressure to step down as President of MUSIGA. Alhaji Sidiku Buari suspects that Mr. Eyison was beaten up by these people who later dropped him off at his home.
