Photos from Komla Dumor’s Requiem Mass

A Requiem Mass was today held at the Holy Spirt Cathedral in Accra, for late BBC Ghanaian Journalist, Komla Dumor. It was attended by a sizeable chunk of well-wishers, friends and former working colleagues, some of who were from the BBC. The Mass was moderated by Metropolitan Archbishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Accra, Palmer Buckle.

Below, some official images from the event.
