Thousands of mourners, who thronged the Osu branch of International Central Gospel Church to pay their last respect, could not hold back their tears as coffins of the deceased were lined up in front of the church for the solemn service.
As the choir sang some cheerful hymns, the mourners cried uncontrollably in the auditorium.
The sorrowful eyes of mourners and family members, including husband of the deceased clad in red and black, were fixed on four coffins containing the remains of the deceased in disbelieve.
Flanked by family, husband of the deceased sat quietly with his hands folded on his laps.
Mother and siblings of the late Insp. Abban were inconsolable when the coffins were being carried out to the cemetery.
The four will be buried at the Osu Cemetery.
