A video circulating on TikTok, shared by London B, a radio personality at CHRIS FM Berekum, shows a solemn gathering at what appeared to be the church compound in Berekum.
Mourners were seen seated on plastic chairs beneath canopy tents in disbelief and in tears over the untimely death of the popular pastor.
The footage captured the weight of grief felt across the community following the pastor's passing.
Speaking at the gathering, a church official, Reverend Samuel Atta, narrated the heartbreaking circumstances behind the popular Ghanaian pastor's death.
He noted that Abuga and his church members were embarking on a 30-day all-night service when he fell ill on Tuesday, September 22, 2026.
Reverend Atta noted that the late apostle's wife complained that her husband was having breathing problems, prompting church members to rush to his residence and take him to the Holy Family hospital for urgent medical treatment, where he sadly died after doctors attended to him.
He said:
"It is true that Apostle Abuga has passed away. We were having a 30-day all-night service, so we always came to the church to pray. So a day before his death, he spoke on the 21st, and we closed at dawn."
"When we all went home and proceeded to our workplaces, we heard that he was not feeling well. His wife called and said he was not breathing properly after returning home. We stopped whatever we were doing and rushed to his house at Apraku quarters."
"When we got there, we got a car that transported him to the Holy Family hospital in Berekum. The doctors attended to him before informing us later that he had passed away."
