Kojo was a brave and loyal friend when I needed one. He gave me a job! He was endlessly kind but firmly refused to allow me to wallow in self-pity and I was able to re-group. I know Kojo never saw it as such, but the debt I owe him is immense. Endless integrity, a soaring intellect and a huge heart. A giant walked among us. May he rest and in peace.

The shocking, saddening and sudden demise of Kwodjo Bentsi Enchill has been a reminder and a reawakening of how transitory life is. Knowing that there is so much to celebrate for your accomplished life is comforting.

I met you Kojo for the first time in the late 1970”s when your courtship with Mercy had only just started. It was in the era when close christian friends felt entitled to be protective of Yaa Yaa. Whatever the occasion, I admit (and on behalf of others) that my motivation at the time was simply that as an accomplice to what I now call “a mission of spies from The Mercy tribe of friends to explore territories”. My sister who had come on visit at the University of Ghana Legon where my youthful Chrife passion was aflame at the time reminds me of how she tagged along on “the mission”. We were prayerfully checking you out in the tradition of Joshua and Caleb on behalf of our dear sister Mercy. Thankfully, we came away seeing with eyes of faith which was duly honoured.

“We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.” was our assessment and verdict. How remarkable it is to know, many years on, about your journey to personal faith in Christ. Your outstanding legacy of integrity and inspiration remains.

Kojo, Your hospitality especially during our visits to Ghana in 2015 and 2019 was top notch. The conversations, visions, itinerary and prayers we shared together were by divine appointment and they will always hold a special place in my heart; memories to be cherished indeed.

I recall the precious events that occurred on the last day we were due to fly back to London. During that Sunday morning our drive to your church, Qodesh became a memorable time of quality sharing blessed experiences, which with hindsight were deeply empathetic. You did not waste time and space on trivia or pleasantries in the car. You asked “What is it like?” and the blessing was mutual. When in my nativity I blurted out a serious offer to return your hospitality your warm acceptance was flattering.

Memories of the guided tour around the new BELA office building in 2015 and the subsequent conversations in the roof garden continue to inspire my dreams, vision and hopes.

You so kindly offered internships to grateful UK based young lawyers and students we referred to you over the years.

Unusually on that Sunday evening of departure it turned out that you would Chauffeur my family to the airport, via the unusual route and bade us an unusual final farewell.

Your last memorable words to me after had personally helped to offload our luggage were “Take care. Hope to see you in London”

My deepest condolences to Yaa Yaa, Ekow, Baaba and your entire family

May you Rest In Peace “Big Brother Kojo”
