Deputy Minister of Education and Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Dr. Clement Abas Apaak, has announced the passing of his father, Mr. John Azundem Apaak.
Mr. Apaak passed away on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at the Bolgatanga Regional Hospital. He was 81 years old, having recently celebrated his birthday on October 25.
In a statement signed by Dr. Apaak, the family described their late father — affectionately called Baba — as a man of faith and a devoted pastor of the Deeper Life Church in Bolgatanga.
“It is with a heavy heart that we inform you of the passing of our beloved father, Mr. John Azundem [Apaak]. He passed on to glory earlier today… We have informed the Deeper Life Church in Bolgatanga,” part of the statement read.
The family has requested privacy during this difficult period and has called on the public to remember his wife, children, and grandchildren in their prayers.
“We ask that you remember his wife, our 76-year-old mother, his grandchildren, and the five of us — Clement, Daniel, Anthony, Margaret, and Abel — in prayer. We are grateful for his life. Rest in peace, Baba,” the family added.
Funeral arrangements will be announced later.
