The incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday, October 22, 2026, when he was appearing as a panellist on the morning programme of Owass FM, also known as Owass Radio.
Reports indicate that he was immediately rushed to a hospital in Tarkwa, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The Western Regional Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kirk Mensah, confirmed the news, describing Dzokoto as a comrade who collapsed during the radio discussion before being taken to the hospital.
Footage from the programme, shared on Owass FM’s Facebook page, appeared to show the actor experiencing breathing difficulties towards the end of the broadcast. He was seen handing a bottle of water to another guest before the camera became unstable and the livestream ended abruptly.
Dzokoto rose to prominence through his portrayal of Judge Koboo in the popular television series Efiewura. He also gained recognition as the host of TV3’s food and tourism programme Edziban, which showcased Ghanaian cuisine. His other acting credits included Osumesi.
In broadcasting, he worked with Skyy Power FM in Takoradi and Hello FM in Kumasi, building a career that spanned acting, comedy and radio presentation.
Beyond his work in entertainment, Dzokoto was involved in politics. He contested the Tarkwa-Nsuaem parliamentary seat on the NDC ticket during the 2016 general elections.
In September 2026, the actor dismissed rumours circulating about his death during an appearance on B.E. TV. He disclosed that he was managing high blood pressure and diabetes and had undergone surgery abroad, reportedly with financial support from businessman Ibrahim Mahama.
At the time of his death, Dzokoto was 51 years old.
Further information regarding his death, an official statement from his family and funeral arrangements is yet to be made public.
