Bishop Kwame Asiamah, the leader and Founder of Universal Spiritual Outreach (Ajagurajah Movement), has expressed dissatisfaction with the funeral proceedings for the late TikTok star, 2PM.
He specifically disapproved of the family’s decision to make the deceased’s corpse stand during the burial, considering the circumstances of 2PM’s death and his age.
During a TikTok live session monitored by GhanaWeb, Ajagurajah not only criticized the family for what he deemed a showy funeral but also raised suspicions about the circumstances of 2PM’s death.
He suggested that further investigation might be warranted, especially regarding the family’s assertion that the incident was an accident.
“Social media life made him [2PM] complacent, he died a stupid death and was buried the same way. The family member who suggested the idea that the corpse of a 23-year-old boy should be made to stand is a fool. How can someone die this way and you will make the dead body stand, because of show off?
“He could have been laid down. They did this to silence him because they knew something about his death. You claim bad roads killed him, is it not the same thing that people use every day? This does not make sense. I hope 2PM deals with those responsible for his death,” he said.
Francis Peprah, widely known as 2PM, tragically lost his life in a car crash on Friday, November 17, 2023, in Wassa Akropong. The incident occurred around 9:30 pm, as reported by Onua FM, and his body was subsequently transported to the Wassa Akropong Government Hospital morgue.
Renowned for his rap skills and the viral song ‘Bibini Yɛ Nipa,’ 2PM, also fondly called the ‘Bars Master’ by his fans, left a lasting impact on the music scene. However, controversy arose during his funeral when his corpse was made to stand, surrounded by mourners, a scene captured in a viral video.
This unusual funeral arrangement garnered vehement criticism from a segment of the public, sparking discussions and raising questions about cultural norms and appropriateness in the mourning process.
