Former presidential candidate and former General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, has laid his mother, Comfort Agyepong, to rest.

Comfort Agyepong, known by friends and family as Adwoa Badu, was the wife of the late Justice Kwadwo Agyei Agyepong, one of the three Supreme Court judges who were kidnapped and murdered on June 30, 1982.

She single-handedly raised their four children, Yaw, Kwaku, Kofi, and Lucy, along with her husband's children, Joyce, Stella, Kwabena, Kofi, and Georgina, using her Obroni Wawu business to support their education through to university.

Comfort Agyepong passed away on February 18, 2025, at the age of 82.

Her funeral, held at the forecourt of the State House on April 24, 2025, saw hundreds of friends, family, and well-wishers, as well as members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), in attendance.

Various tributes were read by her children, grandchildren, in-laws, church groups, and others. During their tribute, her children described her as an extraordinary figure in their lives who showed resilience and faith in spite of hardships.

The open-casket funeral was marked by a filing past, the singing of hymns, and a sermon, followed by a private burial.
