The solemn burial service for Ivan Apprey Baidoo was filled with deep grief and emotional tributes as loved ones gathered to say goodbye to a promising young life. Ivan tragically lost his life on August 27, 2026, in a motorcycle accident following a police pursuit, an event that has left his family and community demanding answers.
His death has now become the subject of a murder case before the courts, with his family, led by Mr. Baidoo, remaining resolute in their determination to see the full circumstances surrounding his death thoroughly investigated. At the service held in North Legon, members of the Adisadel Old Boys Association (AOBA) paid a touching tribute by standing around his casket to sing their school anthem in honor of their late classmate.
Throughout the service, those who knew Ivan best spoke of the warmth, generosity, and joy he brought into every room. In a moving tribute, his brothers reflected on the deep bond of companionship and mutual support they shared over simple moments, games, meals, and long conversations.
They remembered him as someone who was always ready to lend a helping hand during difficult times, noting that his infectious laughter and kind spirit left an indelible mark on everyone around him. His absence leaves a profound void among his peers and family that can never truly be filled.
Perhaps the most heartbreaking moment of the final farewell came during the tribute delivered by Ivan's mother, Comfort Baidoo. Expressing the devastating grief of losing a child with so much potential ahead of him, she shared how watching him grow into a young man was the greatest blessing of her life. Remembering his aspirations at Central University, Mrs. Baidoo stated, “
From the moment you came into my life, it was a special joy that was my never-ending joy. Watching you grow from a little boy into a young man was one of the greatest blessings of my life”. She added,
“My son, you had dreams. You had hopes for your future. You were studying law at Central University, preparing yourself for a promising life”. Heartbroken by the sudden loss, she remarked, “Today, instead of preparing for your graduation and celebrating your achievement, I am preparing to say goodbye to you”. Reflecting on the painful reality facing her, she noted, “A mother is never prepared to bury her child, especially her son, who has so much life ahead of him”.
