A young Ghanaian man became the center of attention after giving President Nana Akufo-Addo a stern, piercing look during the funeral rites of Akyempimhene Oheneba Adusei Poku in Kumasi on November 18.
In a video that has since gone viral, the unidentified man is seen fixing his gaze on the president as he passed by, maintaining his intense expression until his attention was taken by an unknown individual.
The reason behind the man’s “evil look” remains unclear, but the unusual encounter has sparked widespread speculation and commentary online.
Social media users flooded the comments section of the video with mixed reactions. While some questioned the young man’s intentions, others criticized the security protocol at the event. Comments such as “The security protocol here is very poor” and “He get aaa he go knock Addo Dee” highlighted concerns over the potential risk. Others simply expressed curiosity, asking, “Why was he looking at him like that?”
The funeral, held in Kumasi, attracted a host of prominent dignitaries, including Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, former President John Agyekum Kufuor, government officials, and business mogul Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar. Otumfuo Osei Tutu II struggled to hold back tears during the final rites of the late Akyempimhene.
The incident comes at a time of heightened public dissatisfaction with the current administration, with many Ghanaians blaming President Akufo-Addo for the country’s ongoing economic challenges. Rising inflation, mounting public debt, soaring food and transportation costs, and the perceived lack of significant developmental projects have led to widespread criticism of the government.
As the video continues to circulate, it has sparked conversations about leadership, security, and public perception in Ghana.
