However, the young man continued to hold Twum Barima. He kept begging the wealthy man to give him money.

When Twum Barima freed himself from the man's grip, he walked briskly and came to hold Twum Barima again. He continued to beg for money.

At a point, a frustrated Twum Barima took money out of his pocket and handed it to the young man secretly so he could stop following him.

Immediately he collected the money, the young man stopped following Twum Barima.

Several funeral guests who witnessed what transpired were amazed and wondered why the young man did that. Some of them watched him in dismay.
