Apostle Amoako Attah later approached the late inventor's son, Kwadwo Safo Jnr, with the intention of shaking his hands.

Things got awkward between the two individuals as Akofena, who had a stern look and held a fan in his hands, ignored the prophet's handshake and opted to bow his head instead.

Apostle Amoako Attah moved on to shake hands with other attendees at the event. The awkward incident garnered the attention of Adwoa Safo and her sister, who appeared to be confused by their siblings' behaviour.
