Frank Kwaku Appiah, popularly known as Appiah Stadium, a Kumasi-based political activist and supporter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), was blocked by security officials of President John Dramani Mahama from seeing him at Burma Camp on February 7, 2025.
Mahama, who was among the dignitaries attending the funeral of the late Chief of Defence Staff, Lieutenant General Arnold Quainoo, was captured leaving the premises when Appiah Stadium attempted to approach him as he boarded his vehicle.
However, military and police officers prevented him from getting close to the statesman.
Appiah Stadium was heard shouting his name to the president in an attempt to get his attention.
He later managed to get closer to the presidential vehicle when a staff member lowered the front passenger side window to speak with him.
Minister of Defence Omane Boamah, who was present, then exchanged greetings with him.
