TREC Reloaded: Empress Gifty to rock National Theatre on Wednesday
Ghana’s gospel music dynamo, Empress Gifty is set to rock the National Theatre with The Resurrection Effect Concert (TREC) Reloaded.
The event was earlier scheduled to take place at the Living Faith Ministries International, Ashaley Botwe on Monday, April 1, 2024.
Unfortunately, due to some technical challenges beyond the control of organisers, it was postponed.
Subsequently, the Empress Gifty Ministries rescheduled the event for the National Theatre on Wednesday, April 10, 2024 at 4pm.
According to the musician, they arrived at this decision following the outpouring of love from patrons amidst technical difficulties.
Empress Gifty has therefore urged the afflicted, the dejected, and those with grateful hearts who want to offer thanksgiving to make a date on Wednesday.
The gospel minister added that the team has put in place adequate mechanisms for an awesome event.
TREC Reloaded will feature ACP Kofi Sarpong, Kofi Owusu Peprah, Oheneba Clement, Jack Alolome, and other surprises on the night.

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.
