This revealed heartbreak comes from Nii Lante Vanderpuye, former MP for Odododiodoo, who spoke of Aboagye as a beloved “son.” According to Vanderpuye, the pair had finalized travel plans over the weekend, with Aboagye set to bring parcels for Vanderpuye’s daughter, who is the same age as Aboagye’s child.
