He was rushed to the Anamase Clinic by some of the invited guests, but medical personnel at the facility pronounced him dead on arrival.

The tragic news devastated the hundreds of attendees, including police personnel who had travelled from Accra, Koforidua, Oda, Akyem Achiase, Akyem Swedru, and other parts of the country to witness the union. Many were overcome with grief and could not hold back their tears.

Large quantities of food and drinks prepared for the occasion went unused as shocked invitees left the venue in sorrow.

The family of the deceased, who had travelled from his home region in the Northern Region, arranged for the body to be transported to the Oda Government Hospital morgue for autopsy and preservation.

According to Graphic.com.gh, the community was enveloped in sadness, with residents mourning the tragic loss and unable to engage in the usual festive activities of the Christmas season.
