In another post, Agyemang showed Otoo and two other men in black. He described the late friend as a proper human being who would go to all lengths to support others.

"Immanuel Otoo! The lengths this guy will go just to make an appearance at a friend's programme. There’s nowhere Otoo wouldn’t go. From weddings and naming ceremonies of old schoolmates.
"Otoo will simply show up. In fact, he’s the oxygen to our year group. He kept the association together. Otoo was just a proper human being," he said.
