HEAD of Communications for Zylofon Media, Sammy Atuobi Baah popularly known as Sammy Flex, says the death of one of its tireless officials, Willi Roi, who was the head of the Zylofon Arts Club is too shocking.
Willi Roi reportedly died on Sunday, February 10, in his apartment at the Royal Richester Hotel at East Legon in Accra.
Reports
indicate that security personnel broke into his room after he did not
come out the whole day and found his lifeless body.
In an interview with Showbiz
on Monday, February 11, Sammy Baah said although Willi Roi had not been
feeling too well, they didn’t think the illness was that serious for
him to die.
According to him, his death is not only a big blow to Zylofon Media but the entire entertainment industry.
“Despite
his utterances Willi Roi did a great job in the entertainment industry.
He worked with so many great artistes including Femi Kuti and Daddy
Lumba,” he said.
Sammy Baah said a team from Zylofon Media would
visit the Police Hospital where Willi Roi’s body has been deposited, at
10 am on Monday to get some answers into his death.
“The death
of Willi Roi still remains strange to us and we are asking the police to
do an autopsy to ascertain the cause of his death before his body is
handed over to his family,” he said.
For Sammy Baah, the death was a heavy blow considering the fact that Zylofon Media was already going through some challenges.
The late Willi Roi
“It is very unfortunate we have lost an influencer like Wille Roi at
the time the company is going through difficult times. We actually wish
it was not true but it’s unfortunate it is true,” he said
He described the music producer as a team player who was so passionate about his work.
Willi
Roi, who was a musician, songwriter, producer among others, had about
40 years experience in the showbiz industry. He was an outspoken pundit
on Zylofon’s morning show, Showbiz Agenda.
His comments
sometimes offended people’s sensibilities and there were calls for him
to be sacked. Although he was taken off the show for a while, he was
reinstated and remained his outspoken self until his death.
Meanwhile, all kinds of speculations are going on on social media about what could have killed him.
