Reports indicate that confusion nearly broke out at the Manhyia Palace between President John Mahama\u2019s security detail and some mourners at the one-week celebration of the death of the queen-mother of the Ashanti Kingdom, Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem II.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of sympathisers had converged on the Manhyia Palace to mark the\u00a0one-week celebration.<\/p>\n

Some mourners were seen making the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) change sign when President John Mahama arrived on the grounds.<\/p>\n

That reportedly prompted the President\u2019s security detail to step in to protect him. But some of the mourners claimed one of the President’s security officials drew a gun at the crowd and the action angered some of them.<\/p>\n

“We are all here mourning, not to fight but they want to use the occasion for a political campaign and we will not allow that,” one angry resident stated.<\/p>\n

“Suddenly one of President Mahama\u2019s security details pulled out a gun threatening to shoot at us. I saw the gun. We won\u2019t sit and let them come to our land and threaten us. No matter what they do, change is coming.”<\/p>\n

\"Mahama\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Apart from the people from the region, scores of government officials and politicians have also joined the chiefs to mourn with the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu.<\/p>\n

The NPP Presidential Candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo was also at Manhyia to join Asanteman mourn the death of Nana Afia Serwaa Kobi.<\/p>\n
