• Following the emergence of the video, a section of social media has reacted with funny comments regarding the duo's meeting

One of the executioners at the funeral of the late Mamponghene, Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, seemed to have found romance during the ceremony.

In a video which has since gone viral online, the young man was dressed in black mourning cloth with charcoal powder all over his face.

The yet-to-identified executioner stood in his regalia, talking to a young lady who was also clad in a mourning cloth.

The two who looked to be acquainting themselves with each other struck it off quite well as they acted cosy throughout their conversation. Moved by whatever she was hearing from the young man, the lady was full of smiles.

In another video, the lady made a selfie video with the executioner behind her, and she was still looking so happy. While she had changed her dress, the executioner sported the same look.

The footage of the interaction between the executioner and the lady are below:

It is not known when the video was taken, but it surfaced online on Monday, June 9, 2025, when the final rites for Daasebre Osei Bonsu II to be laid to rest were held.

Mamponghene's passing and burial by Otumfuo

As previously reported by YEN.com.gh, the late Mamponghene passed away in April 2025. A delegation from the Mampong Traditional Council (MTC) announced his passing on April 28.

The delegation, led by the Mamponghemaa Nana Agyakoma Difie II, made the announcement during a visit to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.

Following the announcement, Otumfuo directed the MTC to quickly organise the late Daasebre's burial and find his successor within a period of 40 days.

His 'doteyie', or burial ceremony, was scheduled for June 6 to 9. Since Saturday (June 7), mourners clad in black and red to symbolise grief and reverence, have paid their respects to the late chief.

The burial ceremony climaxed on Monday, with Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, President John Mahama, former presidents Nana Akufo-Addo and John Kufuor, among other dignitaries thronging Asante Mampong's Amaniampong Palace to pay their last respects.

The late Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, a lawyer by profession and former Registrar of KNUST, ascended the Asante Mampong throne on August 25, 1996, becoming the 28th occupant of the Silver Stool and the Krontihene of Asanteman. Born Oswald Gyimah-Kessie in 1939, he was 85.
