The former president and his entourage was forced to make the rest of the journey from the Holy Trinity Cathedral on the High Street to the Musuem on foot, as a the large crowd of NDC supporters thronged the road, virtually turning the short ceremony into a carnival.
The Head of Family of Nai We, Numo Tumomli Yartey and other elders, through the Member of Parliament for Odododiodioo, Hon. Nii Tackie Komme, welcomed the former President and his entourage, and after a short briefing, led them to sign the book of condolence.

Numo Tete III, installed Nai Wulomo in 1983, died at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra on March 4, 2008, at the age of 87.
According to the family, wake would be kept for the late Nai Wulomo on October 13, to be followed by burial on October 14 at Aplaku, with final funeral rites following on October 18.
