| Komla Dumor via BBC Africa |
Very sad to learn of the sudden passing of dear colleague, brother, friend and consummate professional Komla Dumor. BBC Africa has lost a great man. Komla Dumor is a Ghanaian journalist who was born on 3 October 1972 in Accra, Ghana. His grandfather was Philip Gbeho, composer of the Ghanaian national anthem.
I just spoke to him last week casually on doing a show about female circumcision today and the Gay marriage jungles of Africa as I speak out on that fiercely.
Ghana-born Dumor was a presenter for BBC World News and its Focus on Africa programme.
One of Ghana's best-known journalists, he joined the BBC as a radio broadcaster in 2007 after a decade of journalism in Ghana.
Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama said on Twitter that his country had lost one of its finest ambassadors.
BBC Global News Director Peter Horrocks called Dumor a leading light of African journalism who would be deeply missed.

From one Journalist to another, may you rest in peace brother. Thank you for the memories K!
