The scenes of relatives weeping during the ceremony moved many viewers online, with members of the public responding with messages of condolence and prayers for the family.

Regina was the elder sister of Chairman Wontumi, whose full name is Bernard Antwi Boasiako, a prominent businessman widely associated with the New Patriotic Party.

Her passing had earlier drawn public attention following comments attributed to former NPP Ashanti Regional Communications Officer Paul Yandoh, who reportedly linked her death to the arrest and imprisonment of Chairman Wontumi.

Those remarks were not confirmed as the family's stated cause of death and should be understood as an attributed claim only.

The latest video shifts focus back to the family's grief, capturing the raw emotion of a household coming to terms with a significant loss.
