The footage dates back to April 24, 2026, when both MPs attended the World-Meets-in-Ghana Executive Dinner Ball held in honour of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi.

The event brought together prominent dignitaries to celebrate Otumfuo as a distinguished pillar of peace.

In the clip, Ayariga and Millicent are seen posing for a photograph and sharing a moment during the evening, though the significance of the scene was not widely understood at the time.
