Ghanaian comedian Bismark 'The Joke' Odoi, who is an intimate friend of the former midfield of Parma, was also present.

The Bologna midfielder Godfred Donsah, who was born in Sunyani, came to support his childhood friend.

The president of the city of Techiman, Charles Kwadwo Ntim, who has close ties with Acquah, has not been forgotten, because he has given his last respect to the late Alfred Baah Yeboah.
