A National Call to Mourn Ebenezer Krah Dehar (KED / Nyameakwan)

It is with profound grief and heavy hearts that the Ghana Students Association of Research, Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Creative Arts (GSAREICA) announces the untimely passing of Ebenezer Krah Dehar, popularly known as KED or Nyameakwan, at the age of 27.

Ebenezer was more than a student leader; he was a beacon of hope, a tireless advocate for youth development, and a passionate champion of student causes nationwide. As the former Secretary for Union Development of the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS), his unwavering commitment to service, integrity, and unity touched countless lives and inspired a generation of young leaders.

This loss is not only personal to his family and friends but a devastating blow to the entire student community across Ghana. His vision, dedication, and selfless service to student development, innovation, and leadership will forever remain a guiding light.

GSAREICA calls upon all student leaders, youth organizations, innovators, researchers, and the broader student community across Ghana to join us in mourning this extraordinary young leader. Let us come together in remembrance, honor his life, and reaffirm our commitment to the values he lived for: unity, service, and progress.

The family has announced that the lying-in-state and burial will take place on Saturday, 21st March 2026, in Obuasi, with the final funeral rites on the same day. A thanksgiving service will follow on Sunday, 22nd March 2026, at the Divine Blessed Family Chapel, Obuasi.

In this moment of sorrow, we stand united as a nation of students, grieving the loss of a leader whose life, though brief, made an indelible impact.

May the soul of Ebenezer Krah Dehar rest in eternal peace.
