Father of popular Ghanaian international Broadcast Journalist Komla Dumor has revealed that he does not miss his son because he engages him from time to time.

Komla Afeke Dumor worked for the BBC until his death on January 18 in London.

Dumor was a presenter for BBC World News and its Focus on Africa programme.

Speaking on Morning Starr Tuesday, Professor Ernest Dumor, who is also the former Executive Secretary of the National Identification Authority said his son has told him to stop shedding tears because he is in a better place.

“I am grateful that I have him behind my bed window, so he is literally around with me, I engage him from time to time, I don’t miss him,” Prof. Dumor told host Nii Arday Clegg on Starr 103.5FM.

Recounting how he encounter his son, Prof. Dumor said: “We all dream don’t we, occasionally I do encounter him almost live and the encounter can be pretty exciting and then I suddenly wake up and you say wait a minute, what is happening here and then you shed a little bit of tears, and then you move on”.

“Well I encountered him somewhere along the line, those were very difficult times, and he more or less was telling me daddy don’t cry, I am in a better place…but I do cry a lot because I don’t only miss him, I miss the mother too”.

One of Ghana's best-known journalists, Dumor joined the BBC as a radio broadcaster in 2006 after a decade of journalism in Ghana.
