The businessman was approached by his biggest supporter, Appiah Stadium, who shook his hand and praised him for attending the Asantehene's birthday celebration event.

The political commentator proclaimed himself the Chief of Security at the Damang mine site following Ibrahim Mahama's acquisition.

The businessman told Appiah to stop before walking past him to his parked luxury vehicle.
