The Resurrection Effect Concert slated for May 1
A popular Ghanaian gospel singer, Empress Gifty has urged patrons of this year’s ‘The Resurrection Effect Concert’ (TREC)to expect healing and testimonies on the night.
“I am expecting a lot of healing, breakthroughs and testimonies for patrons on the night,” she said.
Empress Gifty made this statement when speaking at the press launch of this year’s edition at EL Lounge on Friday, April 1, 2022.
TREC birthed in 2019, had it’s first edition held on an Easter Monday, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, it was put on hold.
The “Eye Woa” hitmaker disclosed that this year’s edition would be under the Theme; ‘The Essence of the Empty Tomb’ making biblical inference to 1Corinthians 15:3-5.
She added that the much awaited event was slated for May 1, 2022, at the Junction Mall, Nungua at 5pm.
“Even though the date has been shifted to May this year due to management decision, the tenets and pillars on which the TREC was built on Easter, The Ressurection of Christ, still stands,” she noted.
The gospel Empress announced that she had teamed up with Nigeria’s finest, Peterson Okopi, Ghanaian legends Tagoe Sisters, Rev Perry Lokko, Eric Jeshrun, and Jack Alolomi among others to rock worshippers on that day.
TREC is an annual Easter Concert which brings thousands of worshippers together to celebrate the Resurrection Power of Christ and win more souls for His kingdom.

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.
