One shot, several collapse at Asantehemaa’s funeral

The unfortunate incident occurred when a stray bullet from an unknown mascot hit the yet-to-be identified victim in the leg.

 

According to Ultimate FM’s Isaac Bediako Justice, the victim is reportedly receiving treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.

He said that about 400 mourners passed out due to excessive alcohol intake at the funeral grounds.

Many of them have so far resuscitated while others are still receiving treatment at the hospital, he added.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on Monday joined a huge crowd of mourners, who thronged the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi to bid farewell to the late Asantehemaa, Nana Afua Kobi Serwaah Ampem II.

He was accompanied by his Ministers-designate and some Members of Parliament (MPs).

Former Presidents John Mahama and Jerry John Rawlings are expected to join dignitaries at the Manhyia Palace to mark the funeral rites.
