Efiewura favourites Koo Fori and Naana have reunited away from the cameras to comfort Maa Christy, the widow of their late co-star Kwame Dzokoto. Photos of the visit were shared on Tuesday, 10 November, by the official Efiewura TV Series page on Facebook, as reported by Adomonline and 3News.
In the pictures, Maa Christy, dressed in black, sits on a sofa between the two actors, with Koo Fori also in black and Naana in red. Another shows the pair standing beside a banner that reads “In loving memory of the late Seth Kwame Dzokoto”. According to 3News, fans have filled the comments under the post with condolence messages for the family.
The Judge Koboo Ghana laughed with
Dzokoto died on Thursday, 22 October, at the age of 51. He collapsed while taking part in a live morning discussion on Owass FM in Tarkwa and was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital in the town, as Adomonline reported at the time.
His role as Judge Koboo on Efiewura, the TV3 series that has been on air since 2001, made him a household name, and he later became a familiar face to food lovers as host of TV3’s Edziban. Koo Fori and Naana played a married couple on the show, and the visit has brought back fond memories of the trio’s scenes together. Adomonline notes that Koo Fori has previously said his chemistry with Dzokoto was so natural that they sometimes improvised scenes instead of relying entirely on the script.
Koo Fori has mourned his colleague publicly since the news broke, sharing scenes from the series on TikTok and writing that he was “so sad and heartbroken”, according to 3News. The loss comes less than two years after the show said goodbye to Mercy Little Smith, who played Benyiwaa, in December 2024.
One-week observance in Tarkwa
Dzokoto’s family has fixed his one-week observance for Friday, 20 November, at the Roman Catholic School Park near St Matthew Catholic Church in Tarkwa, in the Western Region, as Adomonline reported when the family announced the date. Relatives, friends, colleagues and fans are expected to gather there to mourn him and celebrate his life and work.
