Addy Carter, under the handle @Kwesi_Carter, sought clarity, stating, "No one is still answering our questions. If she’s inside, how is it possible? Is she sitting? Have they cut her into pieces? Or did they incarcerate her? Please no savage reply. We want to know how it’s possible."
The video has quickly gone viral, with thousands of views and comments from curious onlookers. While some appreciate the creative homage to Maame Faustiana's profession, others are concerned about the practicality and respectfulness of the burial method.
