The video, posted by Abrantielove on X, shows the process where the elderly man is seen mixing a red substance with water.
The red substance is believed to be paint.
The man was captured mixing the paint with his bare hands, which he later poured into a drum of red oil.
After the mixture, the oil did not appear to contain any visible paint.
This has raised many concerns as netizens advise being careful about what we buy outside.
Red oil is commonly used in Ghanaian households. It is often used for making stew, frying, among other things.
Every household in Ghana arguably uses red oil.
Following the video's release, many have called for his arrest. They are asking that the man be investigated to see if he sells this to people for consumption, as it would be unsafe for the body due to the chemical mixtures seen.
