The body of former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan received a hero's welcome upon landing at Kotoka International Airport in Ghana's capital on Monday. President Nana Akufo-Addo was with Annan's wife and other family members as uniformed soldiers brought Annan's coffin down from the aircraft. The UN flag covering the casket was replaced by a Ghanaian one to signify Annan's return home. Annan died in August in Switzerland aged 80, and will receive a state funeral on Thursday.
