The video also showed a heart-wrenching scene, where the late presenter's wife and mother-in-law were seen weeping uncontrollably as they mourned the loss of their loved one.

"Nana Asante did not say goodbye to us before departing. Nana Kofi, your son, is asking about you. Where are you, where are you, the wife was heard saying while wailing.

In addition to his wife and mother-in-law, other relatives and friends of Nana Asante Soaba also struggled to contain their emotions and cried to the extent that it became hard to console them.

Being an Ashanti man, it's unclear whether his family would also hold another funeral in accordance with their customs and traditions.
