Mourners at the Asantehemaa’s funeral were left in shock after an unusual and mysterious scene unfolded right in front of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
According to eyewitness accounts, a man described as “Komfo Anokye the Second”, who appeared in the form of a dwarf, surfaced dramatically during the solemn ceremony. The incident, which many are calling the “wonders of Kwaku Abranteɛ”, took place just as traditional rites were being observed, stunning chiefs, dignitaries, and attendees present at the Manhyia Palace.
The sudden appearance immediately drew gasps and whispers from the crowd, with some interpreting it as a spiritual manifestation linked to the legendary fetish priest Komfo Anokye, whose mystical powers remain a central part of Asante history. Others, however, believe it was a staged act meant to honor tradition and showcase the spiritual depth of the Asante kingdom during such an important cultural event.
Videos of the moment are already circulating on social media, sparking mixed reactions. While some Ghanaians expressed awe and described the spectacle as a reminder of Asanteman’s rich cultural heritage, others questioned its authenticity, suggesting it might have been theatrics crafted for attention.
Regardless of the divided opinions, the dramatic appearance has added another layer of mystery and wonder to the Asantehemaa’s funeral, an event already steeped in tradition, symbolism, and deep cultural reverence.
For many, the incident is yet another reminder that the Asante Kingdom remains a land where history, culture, and spirituality continue to walk hand in hand — even in modern times.
