Ghana’s entertainment industry has been thrown into mourning following the death of popular actress and television personality Beverly Afaglo at the age of 42.
The tragic news was announced on Sunday by her husband, musician Eugene Baah, popularly known as Choirmaster, through an emotional tribute shared on Instagram.
“My heart is shattered beyond words over the death of my beloved wife Beverly Afaglo,” he wrote. “This would have been four days to your birthday, but God wanted to celebrate with you instead.”
Choirmaster, a former member of the Ghanaian music group Praye, described his late wife as his strength, happiness and greatest supporter.
“I will cherish every moment we spent together forever. I can still hear your voice encouraging me as always, my number one fan,” he added.
The cause of death has not yet been officially disclosed. However, reports suggest the actress had been battling an illness for some time.
In a 2019 interview with Joy News, Afaglo revealed that cancer had affected her family, disclosing that both her father and sister had died from the disease. She also encouraged people to take regular health screenings seriously.
Tributes have continued to pour in from colleagues, fans and celebrities across Ghana and beyond.
Former Ghana Film Authority CEO Juliet Asante described Afaglo as a remarkable person who shared herself “magnificently” with the world. Actress and socialite Rosemond Brown, popularly known as Akuapem Poloo, also expressed heartbreak over the news, while media personality Stacy Amoateng said she was “speechless and upset”.
Actor Harold Amenyah described the loss as deeply painful.
Beverly Afaglo had been active in Ghana’s entertainment industry since 2005 and appeared in more than 50 films, including Babylon, The Game and The Agency. Aside from acting, she worked as a television presenter for TV3 and Metro TV.
She was also a successful entrepreneur, widely known for her thriving shawarma business with branches across Accra.
Afaglo faced personal hardship in 2021 when a fire destroyed her home. Despite the setback, she rebuilt her life and in 2025 launched a new apartment complex offering long and short stay accommodation.
She is survived by her husband and their two children.
