Evangelist Diana Asamoah has disclosed that KODA made certain demands that prompted the family to make certain decisions regarding his funeral. 

She said KODA revealed himself to his wife and family and asked that the dress code for his funeral should be strictly white, adding that he is in a better place. 

Diana Asamoah, who said the family confirmed this to her, said KODA said he is in a happy and comfortable place. 

“I heard good news that KODA revealed himself to his wife and family and asked them to wear white to his funeral. 

“He told them he is in a happy place and that he is comfortable. That is what the family said, and I know it’s true,” she stated in an interview with Gossip24TV. 

To her, it is important to honour the wishes of the dead. 

“For someone who is dead, we have to do what he wishes. That is why we are wearing white. KODA died in Christ; he is in Abraham’s bossom,” she added.
