A group of young Ghanaians in Asante-Akyem Akutuase have been captured on video carrying the corpse of a friend without a casket, parading it around in public.

The video showcases a funeral procession unlike any other, with the deceased being carried on the shoulders of his friends amidst singing and dancing.

The footage, shared on the X platform (formerly known as Twitter), depicts mourners, clad in traditional red and black funeral attire watching as the youth lifted the body of their deceased friend and move around the area, singing and dancing in what appears to be a final tribute.

The video was posted by a user with the caption, "The youth of Asante-Akyem Akutuase did the craziest thing at a friend's funeral by carrying the dead body on their shoulders and parading it around the funeral grounds."
