Prior to his one-week mourning period, some attendees participated in a candlelit march.

Sumsum Ahuofe addresses the gathering at Apaluca’s funeral

In a video seen by.gh, small actor Sumsum Ahuofe took the chance during Apaluca’s funeral to speak out against the stigma that people like him and his late colleague encounter.

Sumsum Ahuofe considered the life and influence of the late Apaluca, sharing their aspirations for a performance in South Africa.

He revealed that he traveled to South Africa for a performance, with Apaluca planned to accompany him. Unbeknownst to him, his colleague would pass away shortly after.

“People don’t pay attention to us, yet some of us have even earned degrees. I recall when I was younger, many people made fun of me and looked down on me because of my bulging eyes. However, now I have benefited from it. The places I can go to, you might not be able to,” Sumsum said.

“Apalu was a virtuous individual. He shared laughter with all. In this world, no one can prevent death,” he remarked.
