The Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is mourning Daari Pogo, an 85-year-old cured leper he assisted in 2020.

 

Residing at the outskirt of Gurungu in the Upper West region, Madam Poga was forced to live in a dilapidated five by six meters mud hut with her granddaughter Adjara after losing four of her 10 children and being abandoned by the rest.

In less than 24 hours after her story was aired on all JoyNews’ platforms, the Vice President came to her rescue by donating food supplies and toiletries among others.

He then went on to promise to build Madam Pogo a decent home. Within six weeks, the two-bedroom house was constructed and fully furnished before being handed over to Madam Daari.

In a twitter post announcing her demise today, Dr. Bawumia said ‘ I have received with sadness, the death of my 85-year-old friend, Madam Daari Pogo, a cured leper, whose deplorable conditions in Gurungu Motori in the Wa West Municipality became a national conversation and I provided her with a 2-bedroom house’.

“I thank God for being able to put a smile on her face in the last years of her life. May Madam Daari’s soul rest in peace,” he added.
