The social media personality, Philipa, and the other two men had travelled to a local community in Yeji after attending the late Mamponghene Daasebre Osei Bonsu II’s funeral rites before the unfortunate shooting incident happened.
In an interaction with some media personnel, an alleged Assemblyman shared that the couple and the other two male associates had visited a house and were spotted enjoying a meal and having drinks.
