Israel Ofori set for ‘Outburst 2023’
Israel Ofori
Gospel Musician, Israel Ofori is set to headline this year’s Outburst 2023 tomorrow at the Liberty Centre Assemblies of God Church in Accra.
The live worship event which is being held under the theme, “Declaring God’s Glory,” would also have Minister Divine Selasi, Elite Crew, Liberty Tabernacle Choir, Melodious Missionaries and Dancing Champions on the impressive line-up.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of the show, Mr. Ofori said, just as there was an outburst of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, “we are believing God for an outburst of his spirit and power come Sunday.”
He said as the year drew to a close, there was the need for God’s people to get closer to their maker and reconnect with Him.
The ‘Ene Wo’ hit-maker promised to thrill patrons at the event with songs that would lead them to the presence of God.

Osanju is dead
Popular Ghanaian content creator, Elvis Frimpong, known in showbiz circles as Osanju has been reported dead.
According to sources, he was said to have died in the early hours on Monday, September 1, 2025 after a long battle with blood cancer (Leukemia)
His death has been a shock in the Ghanaian community especially coming shortly after his last post.
His demise comes five months after he had laid his mother, Amounu, also a tiktoker, to rest, having lost her in January.
Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.
Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.
However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
