Controversial Ghanaian social media personality and self-styled man of God Gyidifo Landlord shared the footage on Monday, July 6, 2026, walking viewers around the exterior of the large white-walled property with iron gates in the hilly landscape of Kwahu Obomeng, Eastern Region.
Omane Boamah's alleged mansion's current state
The video shared by the self-styled prophet showed the gigantic mansion that appeared to have been left untouched with no current tenant since the minister's passing almost a year ago.
Footage showed thick bush now surrounding much of the compound, and the house showed visible signs of neglect, with its walls slowly losing their painting.
Gyidifo Landlord gestured emphatically throughout the clip, pointing at the property while speaking directly to the camera, framing his visit with a biblical reference to Job 16:22, a verse about mortality.
The visit came roughly eleven months after Dr Omane Boamah perished in a military helicopter crash on August 6, 2025, along with seven others near Obuasi in the Ashanti Region.
The victims, including government officials and military personnel, were travelling to an anti-galamsey event when the tragedy unfolded.
At the time of his death, Omane Boamah was the Defence Minister, serving under President John Dramani Mahama, and was widely regarded as one of Ghana's prominent political figures.
He was survived by his mother, Madam Leticia Asante, his wife Rita Omane Boamah, and their three children, Yaw, Akua and Ama.
