He alleged that another vehicle, a Toyota Hilux pickup, was seen heading towards the funeral grounds with a covered coffin in its cargo bed, raising questions about whether they had been outsmarted.

He said:

"There was one car at the funeral home, and they placed a coffin inside, so I don't know whether we were being tricked or whether they had gone for the corpse or not. The car is still there with a coffin inside, but for us, we believe in the laws of Ghana."
