Please bury me in Antoa. I love their culture, forests, and environment. Moreover, I have a wife there.”
This is how a white man named Erhard Jochen Plotner reportedly requested his family members to bury him in Antoa, Ghana’s Ashanti Region.
His family did, in fact, satisfy his desire and flew him all the way to Ghana aboard an airplane.
Mr. Akwasi Afrifa Akoto, who lives in Ghana, said on Facebook that Mr. Plotner visited the country some years ago. Upon arrival, he fell in love with a lovely woman in the spiritually significant village of Antoa.
He chose to include part of his newly discovered Ghanaian family in his will after being prompted to complete the Akan customary marriage procedures.
His most fervent wish was to be buried at Antoa with a kente adorning him.
Antoa locals did, in fact, attend Mr. Plotner’s funeral. His Ghanaian wife Mary, whom he dubbed Marilyn, completed widowhood ceremonies.
