The Ghanaian entertainment scene is in shock today. Veteran actor, comedian and broadcaster Seth Kwame Dzokoto has died at the age of 51. He collapsed during a live morning discussion on Owass Radio in Tarkwa on Thursday, 22 October 2026, and was pronounced dead on arrival at a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n
Dzokoto had driven himself to the studio and joined the panel on the Oman Nkosuo programme. Shortly after the show began around 8:45 a.m., colleagues noticed he was unwell. The broadcast was cut short and he was rushed for medical help, but it was too late.<\/p>\n
Many Ghanaians will forever remember him as Judge Koboo, the sharp-tongued, larger-than-life character on the long-running TV3 sitcom Efiewura. His comic timing and memorable lines made him a household name. Beyond acting, he hosted the popular food show Edziban, taking viewers into local chop bars and celebrating Ghanaian cuisine. He also worked as a voice-over artist, comedian and radio personality, and was a known figure in NDC politics, having contested the Tarkwa-Nsuaem parliamentary seat in 2016.<\/p>\n
In recent months Dzokoto had spoken openly about his health struggles with high blood pressure and diabetes. He had undergone heart surgery abroad with support from well-wishers and had publicly dismissed circulating rumours about his condition in September.<\/p>\n
Colleagues and fans have described him as a versatile and warm personality who brought humour and energy wherever he went. His contribution to popularising everyday Ghanaian food culture through television left a lasting mark.<\/p>\n
As tributes continue to pour in, the industry and his many admirers are left remembering the man who made so many of us laugh for years. Rest well, Judge Koboo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
