Legendary Highlife Musician Daniel Amakye Dede who survived a fatal accident at Bunsu Junction early this year, says the accident left him terrified.

“….Somebody called that he wants me to come and play a programme for him, I couldn’t even talk to him because... it was my manager who was charging everything. Now I’m thinking, how can I charge somebody for a programme? I don’t think I can get somebody like Isaac Yeboah…. If I continue to talk about Isaac I can't stop my tears”.
