Ataa Ayi's mechanic enjoys jollof and steak

In the viral video, Nana Aba Anamoah and Ataa Ayi's mechanic were treated to an array of beverages and delectable pastries, setting the stage for the main event of the lunch.

The highlight of the meal included Ghana's beloved jollof rice, succulent steak cooked to perfection, a fresh salad, and crispy fried plantain, creating a feast fit for a king.

Yaw Asante Agyekum's story is a compelling one; he was wrongfully convicted as an alleged accomplice of Ataa Ayi in 2002, sentenced to 35 years in prison for conspiracy to commit robbery.

Despite enduring 23 harrowing years behind bars without legal representation, Yaw steadfastly maintained his innocence.

His determination paid off when he found a lawyer who helped him successfully appeal his conviction, allowing him to rejoin society.

Ataa Ayi's daughter, known online as Afia Low Key, shared a deeply moving display of affection for her father.

This poignant moment unfolded during the 2025 Father's Day celebrations, a day traditionally filled with warmth and familial love.

While Ataa Ayi serves an extraordinary 160-year prison sentence, Afia recorded a touching video call with him, bridging the emotional gap created by their separation.

The screenshots from their call illustrate an enduring bond, evoking strong feelings of loss and yearning, particularly during a time when many were showering their fathers with love and appreciation.

Accompanying these heartfelt images, Afia posted on her Instagram account a simple yet powerful message:

"I love you."

This touching declaration resonated deeply with her followers, shining a light on the complexities of familial love interwoven with struggle and hardship.
