Ghanaians pay tribute to veteran actor Mawuli Semevo following his passing from fire accident complications

Ghana’s film industry is mourning the loss of veteran actor Mawuli Semevo, who tragically passed away at the Ridge Hospital after succumbing to injuries sustained in a domestic fire accident. The fire, which broke out at his Adenta SSNIT flats on Friday, February 7, caught Semevo while he was asleep in his bedroom. In an attempt to escape, he ran through the flames but collapsed outside, where neighbors rushed him to the hospital. Despite medical efforts, including a 21-day survival prognosis, Semevo passed away 13 days later.
