The 29-second video began with the man referring to Charles Amissah as 'Chinaman', apparently during an event where a variety of foods were laid out on a table for guests.
As he inched closer, he jokingly teased the late engineer, talking about how glad he was to be enjoying the event and the meals.
Charles, who wore a bright smile, laughed at the remark and expressed joy, adding that he was delighted to have potato salad at the event.
The video caption detailed how the young man had a playful moment with his friend on that fateful Friday, not knowing it would be the last time he would see him.
"Herhhh Charles paaaaa, like joke, like joke. So that Friday when I was pinching you all over, it was the last? Oh, slow," the caption read.

Sister of Charles Amissah breaks silence
Meanwhile, Rahj Amissah, Charles's sister, reminisced about her late brother and the effect of his demise on the family in an interview with GHOne TV.
She recounted the conversation her late sibling had with his mother, only for him to die a few hours later after three hospitals denied him care.
According to Rahj, efforts by any of the doctors or nurses to stop the bleeding could have saved her brother and called for a thorough probe to ensure such an incident never happens again.
