Her comments followed months of bitter family infighting after the highlife musician's death, which split his relatives into opposing camps over the recognition of his two wives and also the timing of his burial.
In a viral TikTok video, Faustina Fosuh claimed that she had privately raised concerns about the pace of the funeral arrangements but was ignored, a remark many interpreted as a criticism of Abusuapanin.
