On Sunday, August 10, 2025, what was supposed to be a somber farewell for two well-known Ghanaian individuals took an unexpected turn when former Black Stars captain Andre Ayew was the subject of an embarrassing incident. Alhaji Muniru Lumina, the Deputy Director General for National Security, and Dr. Ibrahim Murtala Muhammad, the late Minister for Environment, Science, Technology, and Innovation, were honored during the State House ceremony. Devout Muslim Andre Ayew paid his homage with the mourning. However, a videotaped event upon his arrival diverted attention from the tone of the day.
