Ibrahim Mahama blasts man at burial service
At the late Madam Dorah Okyere Akosah’s burial service, an unfortunate incident happened between Ibrahim Mahama and a man during the businessman’s arrival.
The businessman, sporting an all-black outfit, arrived with an associate at the premises of the burial service in an expensive black Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
As Ibrahim Mahama and his associate made their way into the church, they encountered the man who had converged at the premises and awaited their arrival to formally welcome them to the service.
However, the man’s gesture was not received as the Engineers and Planners CEO questioned his reasons for leaving the church building to wait for him outside.
Ibrahim Mahama angrily ignored the man’s handshake and scolded him before joining his sister, Hawa Mahama Agyemang, and others for the burial service.
The incident came as no surprise, as the businessman has always kept a low profile at public events despite his vast wealth and fame. He has previously chided unknown individuals who informally approach him publicly.
