She alleged that the late Kantanka's body had already been transported to the funeral grounds before the funeral commenced, saying the vehicle seen by the public was not the one carrying his remains.

The woman further explained that the decision was made because Kantanka was regarded as a king, adding that "a king must not be treated wrongly." She also described him as a holy man who "had no dirt on him."

She went on to say that he was buried at exactly 12 a.m., claiming that such a practice aligns with how chiefs are traditionally buried in parts of Ghana.

During her remarks, she repeatedly referred to the late Kristo Asafo leader as Obrempong, a title often used to honour highly respected traditional figures.

Claims add new twist to funeral discussions

Her remarks have added another layer to the discussions surrounding Kantanka's funeral, which has generated widespread public attention over the past few days.
