Ghanaian gospel singer Elder Mireku recently buried his late father Elder Emmanuel Kofi Mireku who died at the ripe age of 105 years last year.

The late Elder Mireku senior was a devout leader who worked closely with several celebrated ministers including the former president of the Church of Pentecost, Opoku Onyinah.

His funeral was held at the Koforidua Jubilee Park on February 22 and became a huge Christian gathering with numerous ministrations.

The bereaved gospel singer set the pace performing some of his spirit-filled gospel classics.

Having started his career in the late 1970s, Elder Mireku now has over 500 songs and 56 albums.

His many years of service have impacted the industry and many younger musicians in Ghana.

At the funeral, Elder Mireku paused his performance and called in his bodyguard to take over. The crowd at the funeral erupted in joy as the unassuming young man grabbed the microphone from Elder Mireku.

It appears Elder Mireku’s protege, a police officer and the singer’s bodyguard, has an active career as a gospel performer called Taller The Worshipper.

His performance was filled with a lot of affirmations and prophecies. In a video Taller The Worshipper shared on TikTok, Elder Mireku was seen clapping his hands in awe of his performance.
