In a dramatic incident during the ongoing Odwira Festival in the Eastern Region, the wife of the Okuapehene, Oseadeeyo Kwasi Akuffo III, allegedly delivered a fierce slap to a man for firing gunshots recklessly. The altercation occurred during the traditional procession of sending the Okuapehene’s food to Nsorem, a significant ritual at the festival.
In a viral video circulating on social media, the woman can be seen approaching the man, who was holding a double-barrel gun, and without hesitation, landed a swift slap across his face. The act came in response to the man allegedly firing shots unnecessarily during the procession.
