ACCRA, Ghana — 3 September 2026: Veteran Ghanaian gospel musician Bernice Offei has been found safe after a missing-person appeal prompted concern among her family, colleagues and listeners. Sources close to the singer confirmed the recovery on Wednesday, 2 September, hours after a notice said she had last been seen in the Agbogba area of Accra.
An update from sources close to the Ghanaian gospel singer confirmed on 2 September 2026 that she had been located and was safe. Her family thanked the public for helping with the search. No verified account of where she was found or why she was missing has been released.
Family-linked update ends the public search
MyJoyOnline reported at 5:53 PM GMT that sources close to Offei had confirmed she was safe. The update was accompanied by a photograph and a message thanking people who circulated the missing-person notice and supported efforts to locate her.
An earlier MyJoyOnline recovery bulletin carried the same outcome shortly after 5:00 PM. Ghana Guardian also reported that the immediate search had ended.
The missing-person notice said Offei had last been seen on Tuesday, 1 September, on Nyaho-Tamakloe Street in Agbogba, Accra. It asked members of the public to share information with the contacts on the notice or the police.
The available confirmation does not disclose where she was located, who found her or what caused the period in which relatives could not reach her. Those details should not be inferred from social-media speculation.
Ghana's gospel community amplified the appeal
The case drew rapid attention because Offei has been part of Ghana's gospel music scene for many years. Fellow musicians and broadcasters shared the appeal, widening its reach beyond the singer's immediate circle.
Country Ghana's report said gospel figures including Diana Hamilton, Empress Gifty and Fiifi Folson helped circulate the notice. Their involvement turned a family search into a national public appeal.

Country Ghana's report said gospel figures including Diana Hamilton, Empress Gifty and Fiifi Folson helped circulate the notice. Their involvement turned a family search into a national public appeal.
Once the recovery was confirmed, the message changed from a request for information to an expression of thanks. The update asked people to stop treating the missing notice as current and acknowledged the public response.

Who is Bernice Offei?
Offei is a Ghanaian gospel singer associated with faith-centred songs including “Hold On” and “Life Is Short.” Her work has made her a familiar name to listeners who followed Ghanaian gospel music across the 1990s, 2000s and later revival programming.
Her catalogue and long career explain the speed with which the alert travelled. The concern came not from an anonymous post but from a recognisable public figure's family network and established members of the gospel community.
Some reports repeated an age from the missing-person notice. The most important verified fact for this update is her safe recovery. No additional health claim, accident, crime or abduction has been confirmed.

What remains unknown
The public record reviewed for this report does not establish the circumstances of Offei's disappearance. It would therefore be inaccurate to describe the episode as an abduction, medical emergency or criminal incident without a statement from her family or the relevant authorities.
There is also no public indication that the family is seeking further assistance. The recovery notice closed the urgent search and requested continued respect for the singer and her relatives.
For readers who encounter older copies of the missing-person flyer, the current verified status is clear: Bernice Offei has been found safe. Any later explanation should be reported only if it comes from her, her authorised representatives or officials speaking within their authority.
