Rare footage of former Ghanaian President John Agyekum Kufuor’s private residence at Aburi has surfaced online, attracting significant attention from social media users.

The footage was captured during a visit by a delegation from the Agogo Traditional Council, who travelled to the former president’s residence to formally invite him to the funeral of the late Omanhene of the Agogo Traditional Area, Nana Kwame Akuoko Sarpong.

The delegation, led by the Agogomanhemaa, Nana Afrakomah Kusi Oboadum Serwaa, visited Kufuor on Thursday, November 12, 2026, as part of preparations for the final funeral rites of the late traditional ruler.

Nana Kwame Akuoko Sarpong, who served as the paramount chief of the Agogo Traditional Area in the Asante Akim North Constituency of the Ashanti Region, reportedly passed away on March 26, 2026, at the age of 95.

He had occupied the paramount stool for five decades, making his reign one of the longest in the history of the Agogo Traditional Area.

Ghanaian blogger Dosted Trend captured the visit on video, providing viewers with an unusual glimpse of both the exterior and interior of the former president’s private residence.

In the footage, a number of dignitaries and mourners dressed in black traditional attire could be seen gathered in the spacious outdoor courtyard of the property.

The delegation, sheltered under ceremonial umbrellas, later proceeded into the main building as part of the formal engagement with the former president.

On-screen graphics accompanying the footage identified the gathering as a tribute to the late Nana Kwame Akuoko Sarpong.

While the purpose of the visit was to extend a formal funeral invitation to Kufuor, it was the glimpse into the former president’s sprawling Aburi property that appeared to capture the attention of many social media users.

The residence, located around the Peduase-Aburi area, is rarely seen in publicly circulated footage, making the video an unusual look at the private surroundings of one of Ghana’s former heads of state.

The footage has since sparked considerable interest online, with many viewers expressing admiration for the size and appearance of the property.

Some social media users focused on the expansive courtyard and the grandeur of the residence, while others were more interested in the traditional delegation and the significance of the visit.
