He died at home in the early hours of Monday after a short illness and his body has been deposited at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital Mortuary.

"Sad day for Ghana Music#Highlife music Legend Nana Tuffour popularly know as 9924 has passed on..." one user wrote on hits Twitter handle.

I remember when I used to be an event organizer, Nana Tuffour was on the bill of one of my concerts held at Fridays Sakumono . He plays alongside Daasebre, And Kwesi Pee.... We both kept postponing an interview for the Delay show. I thought we had forever 😔
