A throwback video of the window of the late former Deputy Minister of Finance, John Kumah, Lilian Kumah, now Lilian Aryeequaye, has resurfaced on social media following news of her remarriage.
In the viral video shared on social media, the window of John Kumah was covered in all back cloth as she wept in uncontrollable tears at the funeral service.
Fastforward one year on, the late John Kumah’s wife was captured together with her bridesmaids in a viral video.
In the video, she boldly stated she was the bride as she was spotted preparing to remarry again.
Now, Lilian Owusu remarried Samuel Aryeequaye, a year after the deputy minister’s demise.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Finance Minister and Member of Parliament for Ejisu, John Kumah, died on Thursday, 7 March 2024 at the age of 45, years old leaving behind six children.
Apostle Lilian Kumah, at the time, clarified that her late husband had been battling a terminal disease for nearly a year after it was discovered by his doctors in Germany.
“Why is it that someone (referring to Captain Smart) has been this bold to claim that he knows for a fact that a person like John Kumah who has served his country virtually all his life, was poisoned, while he was working for his country and party (New Patriotic Party, NPP), why should we sit down and not bring that person to book.
“If it is true that a person who is not dead but alive claims that he knows how my husband (John Kumah) died and that he was poisoned, and that person is still moving around for the past three weeks, it hurts me, it saddens me and I do not know how best to express my frustrations about these false claims by Captain Smart,” Apostle Lilian Kumah said.
“If there are laws in this country concerning such false claims, I think this is the time for the leadership of the land to bring that wicked person (Captain Smart) to book to prove his false claims and to point out the persons who were involved in the poisoning of my late husband,” Mrs. Kumah further stated.
Also, speaking at a Thanksgiving service to mark the first anniversary of the former deputy minister’s death, on Sunday, March 6, 2025, Apostle Lilian Kumah disclosed some of the challenges her family has faced since his demise.
She revealed her family has experienced deep disappointments, with trusted people turning their backs on them.
Apostle Lilian stated, “What is painful is the disappointment, the betrayals, the rejections. People we thought would be there — the way they turned their backs on us. The lies, the deceptions”.
“But through it all, God has shown us that He is even more of a husband, father, and brother than John. He has kept us, sustained us, and we are still moving on.
“So, today, we call all of us here to join us to say thank you to God. As much as we want to cherish the memory of my late husband, a brother and a father, we also want to show appreciation to God for the strength, in particular,” she added.
