The footage captures several young men gathered at the cemetery as they reportedly stopped the burial and lifted the coffin from the ground. Eric Antwi Duku was the husband of Kumawood actress Patricia Osei Boateng.
Ntonso youth rejected Duku’s burial
The man who recorded the video explained that the youth opposed the burial because they believed Duku was not a native of Ntonso.
He was heard saying:
“He shot someone. He is not from this town, and they brought him here to bury him, but we will not agree.”
He added that the family allegedly claimed Duku’s wife’s father came from the town, which they believed gave them the right to bury him there. The youth, however, rejected that explanation and insisted the body should be removed.
The narrator further claimed that the coffin would be sent to the police after it was taken out of the grave.
