Chris Attoh and the late father
Father of actor Chris Attoh has died not long after his wife was brutally murdered in the United States of America.
Until his death, Fred Attoh, 92, was the Chief of Jamestown.
The actor confirmed the father’s death on Instagram on Monday.
He said “Fred Attoh 1927 – 2019; my father always said, “Believe in yourself Nii, you can do anything, it may seem impossible at first, but never impregnable!”
“Daddy, everything you did and taught me has left a profound influence over my life and the man I have become today, what was just moments in time are now some of my fondest memories. You leave behind a legacy that will always remain insurmountable. Everything I am, and will become, I will owe to you, Thank you for giving me a firm foundation, spirituality, love, support, wisdom, courage and strength to take on the world. Thank you for raising a man who can now spread his own two hands and fly. R.I.P KING,” he added.
Chris lost his wife, Bettie Jenifer, earlier this year in the US.
She was shot multiple times in May this year, while she walked to her car at the parking lot of her office. Police declared her dead on the scene.
Not much has been heard from the police after they declared that they were hunting for the suspect, believed to have used a handgun and fled the scene in a blue vehicle after the incident.
They described the suspect as “a black male with a thick build and black hair, wearing a dark shirt and pants.”
Chris Attoh and Bettie Jenifer got married in October 2018, in Accra. Mr Attoh married again after his first marriage to Nigerian actress, Damilola Adegbite, with whom he has a son, crashed in 2017.
